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?

They have 'em at Silverton and in Summit County, of course, I think they are usually in January.

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.
