Connor Ludwin yes i agree i‘m also interested in what camera they used

They lift him, smh

Left them oof

Part of the avalanche emergency excavation drill 🐕 🥶 😲

It will work. I only ride touring gear, even in resorts. I am thinking about making a video on this. Seems like this question comes up a lot. Look up Solomon shift bindings. Ski very close to an Alpine (resort) binding.

Denise Redäm: Personal choice woman. I always wear one when trees come into the picture but to each his/her own. The few good studies available show very little advantage to wearing a helmet. Which is surprising to me. I know I’d much rather take a header into a tree trunk or boulder wearing a helmet but again with actual impacts by skiers the stats show minor benefits wearing helmets. At best. A helmet has served me well numerous times in the trees (conifers) due to branch slap. I know my face would have been scraped up many times without the helmet and goggles. But that’s a comfort issue. Not a safety issue. I’m a downhill mountain biker. My full face and less coverage mtb helmets have saved me many times in crashes. I sustained head hits while mountain biking and whitewater kayaking that would have caused major head trauma that I biked and paddled away from without a “scratch” due to wearing appropriate head gear. I have never sustained a head hit while skiing that was traumatic or that would have been traumatic without a helmet.

@@mrsmartypants_1 sounds like you don’t ski very fast

One of them has their helmet strapped to his back pack 🤦🏼‍♂️ carries it all that way for nothing.

@@ski4life9 I don’t ski NE ice. Just soft snow and pow these days. Ever competitively race downhill? Ever buckle into real DH skis? Often an ice field going 90+ mph? I have. Back in the day. There you need a helmet. Seriously the stat injuries are very interesting concerning rec skiers resort skiing and helmets. Do you think Sammy needs a helmet? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbyIfZV2mZfDqHk.html

@@mrsmartypants_1 yeah I honestly believe everyone should wear a helmet. Ask people who have suffered tbi’s or people close to those who have succumbed to head injuries. You are correct in stating that they have been shown to not always be effective in stopping concussions as it’s possible to become concussed even without direct impact to the head. However helmets do in fact consistently reduce the risk of lacerations, contusions and skulls fractures. Sitting in the snow bleeding in the backcountry isn’t fun. I can tell you with 100% certainty my helmet saved my head when I hit a tree. My helmet was turned to mush it felt like a kitchen sponge where it took the impact. Had I not had it I would have been dealing with a lot more than just my head injuries. And yes I grew up living in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. I raced for a long time still ski hard and fast and spend much of my winter in the backcountry. There’s a reason people like Cody Townsend and many others wear helmets.

@SNOW & POW Adventures awesome thank you. For the money, do you think its a decent buy? or maybe spend a little extra to get Gore-tex?

@SNOW & POW Adventures AWESOME! thanks for the information and heads up! You guys have been more than helpful!

not all backcountry terrain has avalanche risk...e.g. 10-20 degree mellow terrain.

I’ve done avalanche training through national ski patrol...you don’t need a beacon if the entire terrain is mellow (terrain above you too). By mellow I also mean low risk in general (ie no tree wells). Obviously best practice is to always bring beacon though. For example, you’re not going to be worried about avalanches at all going through Stratton pond lol but that’s still considered backcountry...you’ll def need skis, skins, winter clothes, though.

Yes!
