Hell, I'm safe to the point of being paranoid.
There's a lot of stuff out there I could ski/ride down that I don't because I've heard so many horror stories. You're out by Glenwood, right?

Yeah, I've wanted to the last couple years but haven't
I've been to three seminars put on by REI and the Avie Rescue Team but haven't had any field work aside from practicing beacon usage with friends.
