Just like the superstition of never calling last run, I tend to avoid proclaiming the end of winter skiing. I've skied too many pow days in May to make that blunder. But with spring rain abound, melt-freeze cycles in effect and T-shirts and shorts popping up around the valley whenever the sun shows up for 10 minutes, I'm resigned that any powder from here on in will be an unexpected bonus.

When you start ski touring, it's all about skiing powder. After your experience broadens and your eyes open to new possibilities, ski touring starts to get a bit more serious. The terrain gets more complex with avalanche risk, fall exposure, glacial crevasse danger, or a combination of the above. The tools, skills and know-how you need to get where you're going rapidly snowballs. Ski mountaineering has grown into an ambiguous term.

de·co·rum /dəˈkôrəm/ n. -behaviour in keeping with good taste and propriety. Whether it's from our parents, our schools or other childhood influences, good manners are an important part of any human's upbringing. Respect your elders, especially those who helped raise you. Don't pry into people's business. Don't stare at people who are visibly less fortunate than you. At some point in late teenage years or early adulthood, maintaining good manners becomes a decision for the individual to make.

"Don't like the weather? Just wait a few minutes." No one is certain if the humorist Mark Twain ever actually said this about the New England climate, but it has probably been adopted for every variable weather region on the North American continent, including our strip of coastal B.C. When I arrived fresh off the boat in Whistler many moons ago, I hadn't experienced this type of weather before.

On a chilly October evening, I'm sitting at the back of the audience at an intimate gathering at the Whistler Museum of around two dozen people. A silent digitized film of skiing Whistler Bowl in 1963 (years before it was named Whistler Bowl) runs in the background as attendees comment and jeer at the skiers' technique, laughter all around. Tables are littered with generations-old memorabilia, photos and newspaper clippings of Canadian ski-racing success stories.

There's been a lot of comments and shares on the @BlackDiamond Pieps DSP transceiver issue, but not a lot of real journalism. Glad @PiqueNews was willing to take it by the horns #supportlocalnews https://t.co/QYG9WOCDNI
