I am really stoked on the content coming from Slide: The Avalanche Podcast. Episode 9 is out now. Definitely worth a listen or two. https://www.facebook.com/avalanchepodcast/posts/366425967066122

S1E9: Enkidu, Gilgamesh, and Doug-San A quickie this week; a tale of reassessment, exposure, and feedback.

Silverton Slide: Jeremy Bird recounts being swept onto Colorado route 550 in a January 9 avalanche On January 9th, residents of the greater Durango, Colo. area, Jeremy Bird and Mark Helmich, set out to tour in Coal Bank Pass in the San Juan Mountains—a day that ended with Bird, 52, getting swept over a cliff and onto route 550 by an avalanche.

In our recent scouring of the airways, we've come across Slide: The Avalanche Podcast, a new podcast that discusses navigating the human behaviour of travelling in avalanche terrain. They are 5 episodes in, and they've got our interest, so we thought it worth sharing.

Slide: The Avalanche Podcast Whether you ski, snowboard, snow machine, or just walk around, Slide will teach you how to make better decisions in avalanche country.

Hi all. Sorry for a little bit of radio silence. We don't have a rental program going this year. We will keep the page going with info and posts, and perhaps return to the rental program in seasons to come. We started our little biz to fill a need that we saw in the market. With lots of stores getting onboard with Splitboard services (and a few life changes) we thought we'd re-evaluate and see if there is still a need. We appreciate the messages and support. Enjoy the stellar snow everyone and stay safe!

Some pretty interesting tech from Avatech - crowd sourced snow pack assessments for sharing your results. Is that a probe that creates a snow profile as you jam it into the snow?!?

Hi All. We just wanted to check in and let you all know that we aren't running our rental setups this season. Its been a busy year, and still adjusting to life with a new baby. We are still around and active, so if you need advice, drop us a line, but unfortunately we aren't running any services or gear this year. I hope you all are enjoying the snow.
