It turns out backcountry skiing is interesting not just to those of us who do it, but to others as well. Time hosts on their page a video of some new backcountry tech that even flatlanders are impressed by: a Backcountry Access Float 30. Check out this video of the airbag saving someone from serious slide.
Our state is also making the news for having some of the most avalanche prone slopes in the last 30 years. Here's a video of one skier-triggered avalanche at Red Mountain Pass, an area where many CMC members ski and where CMC helps support a Forest Service winter ranger. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) issued a special warning to skiers over the Presidents Day Weekend.
Front Range skiers will have a new hut to visit at Berthoud Pass, part of the new Grand Huts Association. And Colorado's Junior Snowshoers grabbed a headline and article in Snowshoe Mag, discussing their plans for this weekend's competition in Frisco.
