Seriously, I have no idea what draws the hardcores into danger zones when the danger is clearly documented.

The best gear in the world won't save you when you are buried in snow packed like cement.

The adrenaline rush.

No worries here at Jay, Smuggs, and Stowe... except for the trees, rock, and ice.

Colorado authorities have identified the victims of a backcountry avalanche on Saturday as five experienced snowboarders and skiers who were participating in a community event promoting backcountry safety and gear.

How whacked is that?

‘expert riders and were equipped with proper backcountry gear, including avalanche beacons”

People on this thread seem pretty damned harsh. Five people died here.

A lot is for the thrill but with me, I stick to the ski resorts and not being good in skiing, I never venture out. I know for the people who venture out, it would be hard to know that your are danger until the snow comes crashing on you.
