Sure, you would ask them not to take risks...but for Christmas, along with the nice new PE's/Armada's/Scratch BC's etc you could make sure that they stood a chance of surviving, ...if they made a bad call, by buying them a transceiver, shovel and probe for starters.

Neither child was equipped for being off piste. Everyone can make a bad call on the hill, some will survive because they improve the odds.

I will say no more on this topic.

I think it is a shame as you are making some valid points. My mother doesn't even know what a probe is never mind a transceiver and she would definitely not enjoy to know what skiing I do or where I ski.

She did buy me armadas...

Hangover this morning, attempt to cure:

Note the man wearing a thong.. air temperature when I woke up.. -2



Can someone please help me locate my balls? I appear to have misplaced them.

I know for sure when I was 15 I did not listen to everything my parents told me and that sometimes if they had it is in teenagers natures to go against what their parents ahve said "oh just one run, it looks so good" without thinking about the consequences. I know before I had taken the appropriate courses and actively sought education on the subject, I may have thought exactly like that. 3 years ago I was 15 myself and skiing..

Why should parents be held responsible for their children's stupidity, I doubt the children were as naive as you assume tbh. This is just my view.

RoseR, is she pregnant?

bandit, IMO that is ridiculous. I believe strongly in holding people accountable if they are actually responsible but in this situation even had they been educated properly they might have done it. Old, educated people duck ropes too.

I know for sure that my mum often asks me not to do stuff, or explains why it may be dangerous but I do it anyways.. all about growing up. For sure I would not want my mum to be held accountable for my stupidity.

I am certain others will agree with me in this view, even some of you older dudes :wink: :twisted:

Fatter and Longer=== good times :wink:
