Anyone else ever been curious as to how skiers in AK and on rowdy lines in general get there skis back? Like how's Angel Collinson getting her skis back after a 1000 ft biff?

I heard they're like those tablets that you add water to and they expand into shapes. Allows you to carry plenty of skis so you're always prepared.

They climb their ass back up that mountain and retrieve their skis. What else would they do?

I still live in the day of hiking back up...Or get a another pair, hike back up a day or 2 later and retrieve. Atomic now has ski trackers on their big mountain lineup. Its like a Recco for your skis.
