I spent most of my teen-age life learning to telemark ski that hard way in the backcountry near Fairview Utah (didn't see a groomed run for the first 4 years)... admittedly some of the best outdoor experiences of my life.

A friend told me this this statement he'd heard from a veteran search and rescue guy: Most tragedies are not the result of one big bad decision, but a chain of small choices that seemed only a little bad at the time.
