Maybe in missing a back story, not sure why being sued would even be an issue? Urban Snowshoer, I'll pm you

Hello,

Same boat. 28M with AIARE avy 1 course complete and about 5 days of experience. Moderate risk level and excellent skiing skills. Looking for a group of like minded ski people. Can't wait to meet some of you this year!

Don’t forget about the oodles of peaks we have to ski late-winter!

I'm in a similar situation - have all the gear essentials and some training, looking to hit it a bit harder this year. My plan is to do a couple tours near Berthoud Pass and then maybe try to hit up Quandary. Feel free to get in touch.
