    Richard Bothwell replied to the topic Lassen Jan. 3, 2015 in the forum Trip Reports 6 years ago

    Hey Deebo, Jibmaster…and anyone else riding Lassen.
    Let me know when you’re going to be there. I’m usually guiding trips or teaching classes on weekends, but always happy to meet in the parking lot to say hi, and/or grab a beer together after riding.

    Deebo- do you have plans this weekend? We have one spot open in our AIARE 1 course (Sat, Sun,…[Read more]

    Richard Bothwell started the topic Splitboard guide, AIARE avalanche instructor wanted- LASSEN in the forum Help Wanted 6 years ago

    We are looking to add another guide to our staff.

    The ideal guide candidate has:

      Experience leading backcountry snowboard (or ski) and snowshoe trips
      Familiarity with the terrain in Lassen National park, primarily around the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center
      AIARE 2 training
      Valid Wilderness First Responder Certification
      Completion of AMGA…

    Richard Bothwell replied to the topic Lassen Jan. 3, 2015 in the forum Trip Reports 6 years ago

    Hey JIbmaster,

    were you there on Saturday or Sunday? I was leading a snowshoe trip on Diamond on Sunday, and passed a snowboarder with snowshoes just below the summit….was that you?

    Do you ride in Lassen often? See you there!

    Richard Bothwell replied to the topic Avy 2 versus Avy Pack? in the forum Avy Discussion Forum 6 years ago

    Man, there’s a lot going on in this thread. Here’s my 2¢:

    As background, I guide splitboard trips and teach AIARE 1 & 2 avalanche classes, and do a fair amount of personal recreational backcountry riding. I know this forum is going to be read by a wide range of people…from the first time splitboarder, to the retired pro patroller who gets…[Read more]

    Richard Bothwell replied to the topic Lassen Conditons! 14/15 in the forum California 6 years ago

    January 8

    I haven’t seen an update here for over a week, and I haven’t been there since the weekend, so here’s a general idea of conditions, rather than a specific report for today:

    Snowpack has ranged from 1.5 meters to 2.5 meters at 6700′ (SW entrance parking lot). Snow depth has varied with terrain. I’ve found deeper snowpack on NE aspects…[Read more]

    Richard Bothwell started the topic AIARE Avy classes in Lassen Nat'l Park, California in the forum Avy Discussion Forum 6 years, 1 month ago

    There is an AIARE course provider teaching classes in Lassen!

    The Outdoor Adventure Club offers AIARE 1 & 2 courses as well as a unique and practical Level 1 refresh weekend in Lassen.

      Small group sizes
      More personal attention
      Taught by splitboarders

    Our classes are known for having small group sizes (typically 4-5 students), so you receive…[Read more]

    Richard Bothwell replied to the topic Multiple burials and priorities in the forum Avy Discussion Forum 7 years, 12 months ago

    …the can of worms is opened…. I’m going to try to keep this short, so the quick answer is that the “modern thinking” I referenced was from a paper submitted at the 2008 ISSW by Genswein, et al, which is linked below. They say to leave deep victims and find and excavate shallow victims, if resources are limited. Hey, if you have 10 people…[Read more]

    Richard Bothwell replied to the topic g3 high traction/spark skin fit issue in the forum The Gear Room 7 years, 12 months ago

    Strange….

    We rent Jones boards with Spark/G3 skins, and use them for our guided trips. I’ve been using the Spark skins on 6 or 7 different boards this year. I have found that the swivel tips do act a little different then the tip loops on Voile skins, but not very different. Once I get the first 6 inches or so lined up, I’ve found the skins go…[Read more]

    Richard Bothwell replied to the topic Multiple burials and priorities in the forum Avy Discussion Forum 7 years, 12 months ago

    Let’s hope we’re all making good decisions and that we never find ourselves digging out one partner, let alone two!

    Like most things in life, I don’t think there is a clear-cut answer. Like Ieism said, there are a lot of variables.

    Modern thinking, recognizing that digging is the most time consuming part of the companion rescue process, is to…[Read more]

    Richard Bothwell replied to the topic Innocence Lost (Bloody Mountain, CA 1/12/2013) in the forum Trip Reports 7 years, 12 months ago

    Well done!
    Great line, great turns, and I love the report. Love the way you describe the sensations before dropping in as well as the reference to Red Slate, which is high on my list for this season.

    Glad to hear you got it good!

    Richard Bothwell replied to the topic San Francisco / Bay Area / Sacramento / Tahoe splitters in the forum Re: Re: San Francisco / Bay Area / Sacramento / Tahoe splitters 8 years ago

    Definitely add me to the list!

    I live in Truckee, but am still pretty connected to SF. I’m always looking for backcountry partners during the week. Weekends I’m usually working. I spend a lot of time riding in Lassen, so I’m always up for some Tahoe backcountry.

    I’m happy to ride with anyone who has a positive attitude and energy, regardless of…[Read more]

    Richard Bothwell replied to the topic The Donner Split Party presented by sb.com 2/22-24/13 in the forum Re: Re: Dates set…Tahoe SplitFest by sb.com 2/22-24/13 8 years ago

    Hey Chris,

    Do you think that discounted rentals for the weekend would be a benefit to anyone attending? And/or do you think a splitboard rental would be a good raffle prize? I’d be happy to donate if you think it would have value.

    Let me know what you think,

    Richard
