Max Checks In

Max sent up a few photos last night and pitched the Point to Point race to me again! Okay, okay I'm definitely coming to that race! Registration is next month. Seems he's picked up a new best friend as well. Meet Zak, the Avy black Lab above. Some of Max's comments are below on the recent Avy activity in SLC. It has to be a labor of love, because one can't pay these guys enough for what they do!

This last week has been crazy we got over 6 feet of snow last week. Lots of big slides. One slide we knocked out last Saturday was huge, 5-10 foot crown about 800-900 feet across and ran about 1000 vertical feet to the flats all with one 2 pound charge.
2 fatalities this week, one today by Solitude, scary stuff. I will send you some pics [attached]The weather is kind of bad so they are not the best pics. Also sending you pictures of my dog Zak doing drills. You also need to plan a ski trip up here soon. Stay in touch. ~Max

Max, if you see this....stay safe out there. I've been following the avy reports via TGR (yes, odd for a guy stuck in IA, but ski guys understand) and send good vibes out to you and the other partollers.

Hey Iowa Griz, Thanks for checking in!

Missoula would like to have just a tad of the pow those guys to the south are getting!
