I'm doing my AST 1 next week, then I'll buy a transceiver etc.. After that if we get another pow day I'll have to tag along with one of you into the dive.. Either that or pay $400 out of my arse to have a guided trip in there.
Today was sick though, my wifes first powder adventure and she loved it - despite getting stuck in a tree with thigh deep pow rendering her a flailing mess.
