Backcountry ? Not

The avi's are going off right now. After the major dumpage last week, we got hit with a heavy wet storm. Now everything is sliding, people are dying and it's just plain not safe to strike out past those gates in the Wasatch. The danger is beginning to subside but check with the Utah Avalanche Forecast Center reports before you go. Maybe my lameass ex-roommate, however, blows off those reports and gets lost. Hmmm. Naw, bad Karma. He'll get his. You see, I came home from dinner last week and he had cleared out, despite signing a one-year lease - still owing $700! No warning whatsoever. I had seen him at least three times that day and not a word about being unhappy or needing to move. He couldn't summon the guts to face me and admit he's one of those deadbeat ski bums- no job, no money and no spine. Beware the ski town roommate sitch, Folks. You have to have five before you find a keeper. And, yes, Small Claims Court is calling. :)
