Dow Williamscan't live without...

Voted 5/5

probably rings true more than I can imagine....being somebody who has been featured on this web site, I can say its beta is quite valuable....these guys really go out of their way to be honest and yet not so conservative as to worry about liability, etc (stuff you would have to deal with in the States). They just tell it the way it is, very technical, but easy to comphrend, no bs. Non profit of course. A must for you backcountry skiers.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
