I think part of the blame for this attitude of "throw safety out the window and go for it," should partly be put on the shoulders of these ski movie production companies and, I am sure every body out there knows who I am talking about, are really sending the wrong message, especially new up and coming skiers. That's my two cents. Stay safe out there, Chase Hey Lou,

" the concept of backcountry skiing as a quest for the day’s total experience of adventure and outdoor recreation, not just getting the perfect powder line." I seem to have a couple touring partners that are more interested in the perfect line than the some of the days fun. I find it disturbing at times. Derek Lou,

” the concept of backcountry skiing as a quest for the day’s total experience of adventure and outdoor recreation, not just getting the perfect powder line.”

I seem to have a couple touring partners that are more interested in the perfect line than the some of the days fun. I find it disturbing at times.
