I have received the list of planned classes and the on snow days for the 2010-11 season. This is a great way to get some avalanche education. You have to attend one of the classroom sessions to qualify for the on snow day.

Def recommend it guys! I did it last year and learned a lot of cool stuff.

I may sign up for an in class again, just because.

A refresher can't hurt!

There's just no way that I'm missing out this year. I missed last year because the group of guys I ride with never could agree on a date. I don't give a damn this year! I'm going even if it's by myself!

I need to find a new group to ride with anyway. I love my boys and will still ride with them at the resorts, but they're just not reliable enough to ride with in the BC. They're still living the single life and are more interested in the social life and partying than they are serious riding. Even though they've been riding all their lives, I've already passed them up in my two and half seasons on a board. The difference - I go to the mountain to RIDE! They go to ride a little, then chill in the lodge and drink a few beers, try to pick up some mountain skanks, then go ride some more. A casual day like that is cool occasionally, but 9 times out of 10, I'm there to ride until I can barely stand up anymore!

Sounds like you NEED to come to one (or more) of these classes and meet a more reliable caliber of friend! :-)

Any classes in Georgia?

**killclimbz** · 10-25-2010, 08:49 AM

First class is this Wednesday at DU. 7pm.

linvillegorge · 10-25-2010, 12:02 PM

I'm going to try to get to the one this Wednesday. Gonna be tough to pull off, but I believe I can squeeze it in.

**killclimbz** · 10-25-2010, 12:22 PM

I might make that one myself.

Just got back. Good class, very informative, good instructor. About the best you can do in 3 hours.
