Expectations⁠
⁠
When we head into the backcountry we can have a mind full of expectations.⁠
⁠
✨How we expect the day will go⁠
✨What we expect the snowpack to be like⁠
✨Different roles we expect group members to take on⁠
⁠
It is great to head out there with an idea of how things will look but we always need to remember to have an open mind. If we get it set in our heads the snowpack will be a certain way or the line we want to ride is in then we can easily get pulled down the deadly trail of human bias & miss some important clues. 🧐⁠
⁠
Head out with an open mind, investigate & remember our number one goal is to come home. 👊

✨E X P L O R I N G✨

My favourite sled days are the ones where you spend a relentless amount of time on google earth / fat maps studying a new zone, putting GPS points in & hoping for a bit of luck that it all lines up 🤞

Now let’s be honest. It usually consist of banging a road in somewhere ridiculous & it is pretty rare you make it to the planned destination.

Needless to say when we were in the alpine by noon on an exploratory mission this week it was some magical shit! 💖🏔 Apparently things do line up sometimes ✌️

P R O B E S⁠
⁠
Probes are more than a rescue tool, they can give us tons of valuable information as we travel through the mountains. ⛰️⁠
⁠
Whipping out your probe to check the depth of the snowpack can tell us a lot. Are we in a thin spot? Wind loaded area? Or standing on a cornice 😳⁠
⁠
We can use our probes to get a quick and dirty idea of the snowpack structure. Feeling resistance changes as well as layers can give us an idea of whats going on before we even dig. They are especially good for feeling crusts and how far down they are. ⁠
⁠
The next time you are out adventuring in the mountains, pull your probe out!⁠
