Avalanche Danger - Extreme

The excitement of all the new snow in the Western half of the U.S. has caused a lot of people to flock to the mountains for their first pow turns of the season. However, it is without understatement that I say that the current snow pack with the addition of the new snow is extremely dangerous. In the last week there have been three deaths in Colorado...

Sarah Sent Snow!

The evening of Sarah's death I had a friend of a friend print out some die-cuts I designed to put on my helmet.
