Ready for anything: Nov 12/10

Okay weather....we are ready for anything. Archie French of A&E Racing and the gang from Brooks rolled in today from Corbin off the trail and we roasted sausage over the fire in the backyard. Light flakes of snow occassionally fell but nothing on the ground here yet. I was in Fernie today and only a dusting of snow there BUT>>>>>the gang said that they took the quads/UTVs up Rain Gauge and had to turn back part of the way up because the snow was just thick enough to make it difficult to climb....AND>>> some guys were up there on snowmobiles! Yep - Cool - now don't go racing out to the mountains - we are not talking riding - more like picking through and doing it just because and with no fear of having to order parts at the end of the ride. It would be done just because it could be done. Fun thinking about it though. Gets the blood pumping!

About Avy Equipment.....time to retire the old analogs and don't use anything that only has one antenna. The dual antenna (usually makes an X on the back of your DTS beacons) are still good but if you are thinking of upgrading then the latest is the 3 antenna equipment. Remember - having lots of options is cool but if you are under pressure and afraid...easy operator use is best. After that it is practice practice practice. Cheers!
