Sounds to me that the first alps resort to have a US style boundary with all terrain within made avalanche safe would clean up.
because I'm so inclined .....

I'm sure if the slope was completely untracked we wouldn't even had considered it.


Personally I'd have been MORE inclined to ski it if it was untracked.

That observation alone should be enough to make you stop and consider why a nice bit of pow is untouched.

If you want to pass outside the marker poles, treating the mountain as a Theme Park will not work as a strategy.

I believe Mrs W got a stiff telling off from Ian when she told him we had gone off piste onto non patrolled sectors. Oops.


Just a quick response about the chat I had to Mrs W ........ I had already had a chat at the beginning of the week with a few of the guys including Mrs W about being aware of the two weeks of warm weather St Anton had and then with added snow fall my reasoning was the pack could be unstable, I was more irritated with Mrs W that A: She did not know the Avalanche warning level and B: That she followed the leader with out thought of the conditions, Now Mrs W is not normally a follower which did irritate more than her skiing the off piste runs.
I maybe over cautious but I'd rather be safe than sorry afterwards.
