"This bowl can avalanche!" Proceeds to skin right up the middle of it and have multiple people on the slope at once, including uphill and downhill traffic.
Critical to call out, Bryce. Avalanche safety is nothing to be lax about. Of course the magic of film will never capture the hours all of us who go into the backcountry spend researching snow conditions, avvy reports, digging snow pits and assessing layers. Everyone who goes out should take an avalanche safety course to learn more about the art and science of the trade. Thanks for the callout.
@@thebend8788 One of the main points of avalanche courses is that you cannot 100% predict what is happening in the snowpack from observations such as reports, pits etc. The snowpack is outside of your control. The one thing you can control is terrain, and you still choose to commit to the most exposed ascent on the mountain, leaving both of you vulnerable for the entire ascent. My main reason for calling you out is that you are promoting yourself as a knowledgeable backcountry traveller who makes safety oriented decisions, and the decision showcased here using the absolute worst terrain management practices is now shown as a positive one because you made it back home to make the video, when in reality you just got lucky with no incidents. Beyond the egregious disregard for risk management, cutting a skin track right through the middle of prime skiing terrain is also a huge breach of etiquette.
Easy! They both Suck! Unless you love riding the flattest of terrain available anywhere in the west! Bachelor isn’t even a mountain. It’s a butte that the resort petitioned the USGS for a name change because skiers knew a place called Bachelor Butte (origin name) would be flat as hell. Oregon is the flattest and worst skiing out of every western state. Don’t ever waste your time and money skiing in the flattest state on the left coast. Go to WA or any other state west of the Rockies for real skiing. Yeah, I live in bend but I travel to ski actual Mountiains! Not flat ass round buttes!
Loving these videos guys!!
Thanks for the support. Looks like you are doing some great work on your channel as well!
Says “ can avalanche “ at the same moment a dude is side scraping and pushing snow around in the clip lol

At least the rest of us don’t have to deal with your bullshit attitude while we’re having fun on our crappy “butte”.
