Lost a ski

:lol: :lol:

I have to admit to owning tacers too but they save me a lot of time, just make sure they are tucked in as there is nothing more embarassing than falling because you are tangled up in your tracers.

I don't own any powder traces, after ise heaped scorn on them and their users a while ago :mrgreen:

How times change :D

to be honest they are a bit of a waste of time though :D I thought the primary function was to intimidate other people about how hardcore the user was :D

In avalanche terrain I'm still not comfortable with them and the prospect of being caught up with your kit. Nearer the piste you might save time, needless to say, on the rare times I've worn them I've not released a ski let alone lost one.

Like you need to intimidate other people into thinking you are hardcore. Have you looked in the mirror recently? :lol:

I have seen way too many unhappy folks digging this winter, some of them at it for hours. We need Transceivers that will pick a reflection from skis.

Any inventors out there?

mostly, and I know this is obvious, they're looking in the wrong place :lol: People don't always realise how a ski moves in snow and their search patterns are hopeless, not having shovels and probes doesn't help really either.

I have felt that horrible gut feeling and panic when a ski can't be found, and it's something that I dread happening again :(

Thats the best comment I've heard on here for a while :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
