Skied the Birthday chutes yesterday sans avy in honor of the FTO crew.

Snow is good up high. Watch leeward slopes (NE-NW facing). We cornice dropped a few things and had it step down below to the crust below Saturday's events.

Thanks for bringing back the skiing into a skiing forum. Nice...

I'm personally debating If I should get crampons for my next May ski day? I already have an ice axe. Why? No bootpack where we're planning to go.
 
crampons... if you do get them , take the time to learn how to move with them..ie: french technique.
if you don't they can become more of a danger with than without....

I know, that is why I don't necessarily want them. 8-[

French technique is real easy in plastic ski boots.

Not.

It's pretty much front pointing or nothing, if you've got them attached to ski boots. Which relegates you to 35+ degree terrain.
 
Sort of stiff.

Especially compared to these.
