people who ski off piste without checking avalanche dangers are idiots

as sad as the whole situation is, lots of people die doing stupid things and people make fun of them and nominate them for darwin awards... personally these people are no different, going into back country, or off piste without training is stupid, and im sure most of the time they are lucky and nothing happens. but its the time something does happen and you dont know how to deal with it that people get hurt or die.

I nominate everyone who dies because they dont have proper training for a darwin award.

chalk on up to global warming!! rising temps mean variable conditions, meaning harder to ski BC due to avalanche
