Wanted to clear something up about the I in EVI.
Last year, we started this site with the intent of posting about our experiences in EV.
Doing the avalanche education thing a little bit differently.
They come for the movies, and stay for what little information we can impart.
Maybe something more was necessary…on the ground observations BEFORE the slides happened.
So, what then.
Little did we know, but 2011 was a special year.
Lines that are usually un-skiable became viable.
It was done by numerous people on numerous days.
Some of it was even put on video.
This year sure ain’t the same.
2012 rolls around and those same lines are no where to be found.
The snow is touchy.
Step in the wrong place and trigger something that runs to the flats.
That isn’t the case anymore.
We think, maybe we have a responsibility now to explain the other half of the equation.
An evolution of our mission.
This isn’t snow dork academy.
In fact, the “institute” in our name is satire.
Crazier than a solo ski cut in Old Man’s (more on this).
An intended maneuver resulting in an intended effect.
1,400 runs in EV over 14 years and the knowledge gained from it…gone.
I encourage anyone hating on that post to take a look at the rest of the blog.
Anything from the 2011 – 2012 season should echo the CAIC reports from the same period.
Take them for what they are worth and what they are…on the ground reports.
If you want to dig your own pits, you should.
In fact, let us know what you find.
