Is that the chute between The Tooth and Bryant?

It's the chute on the southeast side of The Tooth. So it's farther away from Bryant. I think it's the chute used by climbers in summer to access the South Face of The Tooth.

Oct. 2013 ''the avalanche review'' page 10. ''lessons learned: Gnfac professional development workshop examines take-away messages from near-incidents in the field'' by Andrew Kiefer. I answered your guestions, will you answer mine? Will this lead to a valid discussion that leads to a solution to some of the questions i have raised? Or will i be accused of conducting a personal vendetta,asked to start a heli-hate web site, 'cause that's what i am right,  labeled a harasser and now being accused of implying that nwac is intentionally mis-leading the public? If education  is to win out, lets replace hype with the transparency of truth. Yes Jim, understanding tribal bias is a good starting point and why i often bring it up. 


Thanks Chris.  I was genuinely interested in discovering the source for your post.   There were two tragic deaths of avalanche forecasters last year (Utah and Montana) and I thought it may have been connected to those events.  We all want to learn here and your comment lacked a source that we could all read about and form our own opinions.  Most of us are curious and want to be the safest backcountry skiers we can.  Sharing and learning from others is always the best approach.

The side of the pyramid point facing the ski area near on the north tip of Chair Pk. appears to have slid big yesterday. I heard Patrol had a hand in that one, but I'm not entirely sure why except maybe to protect those returning from the very far reaches of the ski area-accessible BC. IIRC, the path heads straight down to Source Lake.

Patrol had nothing to do with it

Good to know. I wouldn't want to be close to that thing whatsoever. Absolutely hudge.

The usual zones beyond the gates which climax annually have now been covered by a few inches of snow. Sliders beware!
