Avalanche pros acknowledge that snow science is inexact and the risk is never zero. They’re increasingly encouraging resort riders to pack their avy equipment when skiing in-bounds, mainly on steep, ungroomed terrain on powder days. Is this necessary?
I know a kid who wears a beacon which isn't silly. We have slides in bounds all the time. I was riding with a few friends last weekend and one of the kids cut out a nice slab and triggered a good sized slide. Nobody was buried or injured but still.
