A little excerpt from an early winter experience:
Tomorrow I set off to go powder skiing, it's the long-awaited first time! In the morning, full of anticipation, I headed to the corner where all the ski equipment, including the safety gear, had spent the summer.
Mhhhh, the backpack is there, but where are the avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe? I actually thought I had packed everything in one place?
Now it's getting hectic, I'm supposed to be at the meeting point in ten minutes.
Ahhh yes, I still had the shovel and probe from the end of the season! But to whom?
For the shovel and probe, I'll have to get a replacement set.
Where was the avalanche transceiver? That's right, it should still be in my ski pants from the last tour.....Here it is! Crap, battery dead and I don't have a replacement! Of course it's Sunday, so off to the gas station.
