And it turns out that a good ol' ski partner of mine from the SLC area may be giving a talk on human factors. Highly recommended. Here's a pic of him I took on Mt. Moran, and another dropping in where he looks like he's having a human factor moment:

Yes indeed Bob, Amy's working on getting him down here for the course! Amy met Russ at the recent Colorado Snow and Avalanche Workshop (CSAW) in Breckenridge, CO, and I think he did mention to Amy that he knows you.

Yeah, I already heard from Russ about this. He's got an open invite to stay with us.

Due to lack of snow and little likelihood of developing a meaningful snowpack at Pajarito by Feb 23, we have regretfully cancelled this L1 avalanche course. Please look for out for announcements for another offering of a L1 course next season.
