Miker, I've got to tell you these avalanche posts bring me no joy. I'm not blaming you but I always worry about my son who skis with a beacon, avalanche pole and shovel. He's at Silverton as we speak. I'm always relieved when I get a text from him at the end of the day as I just did.
When I was at Steamboat, which doesn't really have avalanche terrain, one skier I shared a gondola with told me about several accidents where people suffocated by getting caught upside down in a tree well. That was something to think about as I skied the trees.
As Roseanne Roseannadanna said "It's always something."
I'm guessing you're not worrying about avalanches in NH.
