College roommie Diana and I are IMing regarding the 2 people who caused an avalanche outside of Tahoe today, and how it relates to my possible 1st snowboarding experience.

Cindy: they’re missing a lot of people just because of those 2 idiots.
diana: that’s the thing….this is outside of the resort, so there is no avanlache control
diana: so people who go outside, pretty risky
diana: anyway, i hope it turns out ok
Cindy: so far I’m seeing lotsa reasons why I shouldn’t go snowboarding.
diana: if you stay inside , its fine
Cindy: my screaming would probably cause avalanches, and I’d have to deal with THAT guilt.
diana: hahaha
Cindy: so I should just sit inside all day?
diana: no no, i meant inside the ski resort, not inside the lodge
diana: these people went out of bounds
Cindy: oh. I don’t even know the difference.
diana: haha
Cindy: I’ll probably drift out of bounds and then scream for help and bury myself in an avalanche.
diana: trust me, it’s not that easy to go out of bounds
diana: you have to want to and try really hard
Cindy: oh. that’s better, then.
diana: people don’t go out of bounds unless they are looking to
diana: generally people who are quite good and know they can handle the terrain
diana: people do it becaues the snow is un-touched, but w so much snow, it is very dangerous
diana: but some people are stupid
Cindy: you know what another way to get untouched snow is?
Cindy: cause an avalanche!
