Hello and Welcome to An Altitude Problem, where we are very glad our husband wasn't one of the idiots high-marking in Shrine Bowl. This slide was triggered by the reverberations of B's and his brother-in-law's snowmobiles as they rode past, eyeing the tracks of other riders side-hilling and high-marking and wondering who would be stupid enough to hill-climb in snowpack as unstable as it has been this year. They rode past, turned around and rode back past a few minutes later, and realized it had slid behind them. Just a reminder to all of my faithful few, if you spend any time in the high country, especially this year with it's extremely unstable snow, don't be a moron. Stay on safe snow. Stay out from under slide-prone areas. Don't stay home, just take measures to insure that you can return home.

On a more humorous note, Andy has discovered that burying his rawhide bones in the carpet is just not the same as burying them in the dirt. Not only does the hole he tries so hard to dig never materialize, but when he tries to fill it in by shoveling with his nose, he ends up with a giant rug burn.
