Hello everyone,
I?ve been looking through the archives to find some info on where to learn how to deal with the snow, but my eyes are starting to hurt do I will just ask. I live in Houston where we get 1/4" of snow (or snow like stuff) about every 10 years soooo? where can I learn how to not fall hundreds of feet down a slope, how to self-arrest, how not to start an avalanche, etc? Is learning from others ?on the job? sufficient? Is there a class I need to take somewhere? Will I learn fron others at the bottleneck at Kennedy Meadows assuming I haven?t died before then? ;) FWIW, I have backpacking experience including a small part of the CDT but nothing with serious snow.
