    Greg,

    Wicked video! I like the style of ‘tips’ your providing! I am sure that as the season progresses the variety of advice offered will be as varried as the condition.

    Pointing out the shooting cracks is a perfect example. It is a condition I have yet to encounter. I have taken both my level 1 + 2 rec courses and a number of other touring and backcountry courses over the last 5 years, in addition 50+ days in the backcountry, so having you show video as opposed to pictures in a book is gold! Thanks!

    Hope to see you on the slopes @ RMR, I have a seasons pass this year (from wpg) and planning on some days touring around the resort and up in the pass!

    Play sage and keep the wicked adventures coming!

    Love the videos. Can you elaborate on skiing things from the top? Is this so you know exactly what’s above you? Thanks. JB.

    I did not elaborate about skiing things from the top but there are many reasons.

    If the slope goes it is much better to be on top of the slope as it collapses versus unerneath it.

    Years ago after a mentor taught me to try and always ski things from the top I was about to cut under a slope and try to ski it from 300 feet below the summit, his words echoed in my mind so we hiked to teh top and skied it. My third turn tirggerd a class 3 that thundered to the bottom. Luckily I was on top of it all and watched it go beneath my skis. If I had cut in were we had planned I would have had 300 feet of slope cascading down on top of me and dragging me thousands of feet to the valley below.

    By skiing down you can control the slope leaving nothing hanging above, minimizing the overhead hazard.

    I just got your DVD "Unbearable Lightness of Skiing" today Greg – most inspiring ski video i’ve seen yet! Tells it like it is – adventure, great snow, and fun! Anyone who hasn’t seen it or ordered a few, get on it in time for Xmas. The perfect present for any backcountry skier.

    Makes me want to get out there touring. The Pass is where its at. Will be there in 2 weeks!

    That’s some good therapy for tropic induced heat rash.
