Hi Deny,
In post #5 and #7 they have done some high-marking. That is the usual place for a sledder to trigger an avalanche. It also looks as though they came over the saddle above the high-mark slope and cut over a convex roll, which is also another commn trigger point. In other pics there are mtns. in the background. On a sled they are only a few minutes ride away. Although I can't see the entire valley they are in, a valley by definition is bordered on both sides by mountains. Depending on the width of the valley you may always be in a runout zone. The starting slope angle for avalanches to occur is about 30deg and it looks likes there are a lot of 30deg plus slopes in those pics.
Are you still using BD and do you make your own. I am thinking of getting/making a processor and making my own. How much does the stuff you make or use cost.

. We do seem to have the same interests in avatars, although Deny's seems to be leaking something, probably Bio-diesel. I'm more of a gas/propane guy myself.
