(RYAN WORCESTER//BY SETH HOLTON)
Avalanche danger says moderate. Human-triggered slides possible. 2 foot depth on top of the crust. Unstable but not catastrophic. I try to do the math, quickly. Two hours each way, sun sets at 5pm. This isn't what I would call an alpine start- probably wouldn't even touch my board until sometime after noon.
But lazy mornings, two cups of coffee, having my car start after more than a month in the same lot- these are all good things. I think sometimes the accumulation of blowing off the little things is what ultimately results in complications. So I'll remain steadfast in trying to do the right thing. Which means, sometimes, just saying "fuck it" and throwing the board into the car too late and going anyway.
