Yeah, I agree maybe it hasn't made me a "safer" user. Maybe "appropriate" would be a better word to describe my experience. I make more appropriate decisions about with a wider range of options, with the new experience. But, to be objective about it, my back country habits really haven't changed much. I just feel more aware. Tricky stuff this avalanche ed - there's a Philosophy PhD dissertation lurking in there somewhere, I bet. Hope you don't mind I linked "snow geek" to your blog - I like your Cameron Pass updates. They fill a good niche in FoCo, too. I would use them if i still lived there, for sure. Thanks, Kevin.

I felt the level 2 course was a good introduction to a broader knowledge regarding snow science, forecasting and now-casting, though I doubt it has made me a safter backcountry user. Ha, great post!
