But have you tried putting your skins ON without taking your skis off? [EDGE]ucation sensei Bruce Edgerly demonstrates his favorite party trick (for experts and yoga instructors only!) in this season's final installment of [EDGE]ucation.[EDGE]ucation - Gaper BagBackcountry Access2023-03-27 | Become everyone's favorite touring partner by following BCA Co-Founder Bruce Edgerly's advice to keep a "gaper bag" in your car.
What happens when a member of your group shows up to a trailhead check and realizes their transceiver is low on battery, or they forgot their gloves? Save the tour by keeping a bag full of frequently forgotten essentials on hand to loan out to backcountry partners—like batteries, gloves, skins, ski straps, radios, and even an extra transceiver.

BCA Co-founder Bruce “Edge” Edgerly goes A to Z on the subject, explaining how transceivers separate signals from noise, how to recognize electromagnetic noise, the differences between active and passive noise, and how to mitigate its effects during an avalanche rescue.
Presented at the 2023 Colorado Backcountry Avalanche Workshop (COBAW), organized by Friends of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC).[EDGE]ucation - Do I Really Need to Dig Snowpits?Backcountry Access2023-03-10 | How often do you really need to dig snow pits? As a recreational backcountry user, the answer is... Not often. BCA Co-Founder Bruce Edgerly's strategy? Leave the digging to the avalanche forecasters. Bruce recommends reading the avalanche forecast in the morning, and digging hasty pits and hand shears tests to verify what he saw in the avalanche bulletin.
Digging snow pits a few times throughout the season is a great way to identify and track weak layers over time. On a regular basis, however, there is so much variability in the snowpack that no one snow pit should be used as a green light to travel on a particular line.
