that sounds ridiculous.
it really depends on your snowpack where you are riding. continental snow never gets as deep as coastal stuff so the slides won't be as deep. its a personal decision. for me i'd easily rather carry a slightly longer, beefier and consequently heavier probe because in the event i have to ever use it it will be during a class 11 shitstorm and i'd much rather err on the side of being prepared.
these are tools to save a life. not worth it for me to use the bare minimum.
