Agreed, luckily, that the gear is usually used to try and rescue someone else. I hope all the precip crossing California and swinging southwest manages to bring you some much needed snow!

I bring my avi gear mostly for the safety of other people because I know that I might have to dig them out. It is statistically much more likely that someone else will be in an avalanche around me, than I will be in one myself. Terrible snowpack down here in Colorado this year too.
