Nice features on Mad Man, Trad. One of your routes?
You keeping track of your days out this year - must be a bunch by now; I'm envious!
Dale
edit: yep, I'd have taken a few days off, too.

ESAW 2015
Backside of the Washing Machine
Program was strong again this year, I thought the best yet.
Sam Colbeck always amazes. Even his shortest answers to questions contained more physics than should be allowed.
Bruce is the man, of course.
This year he got us thinking about short-term near-surface warming issues, the lack of predictability. Pay attention to aspect. Pay attention large temp flux. Esp with loose/dry (like we even know what that is here in the NE...)
A little guy dressed in pastels and skinny jeans turned out to be Rudi Mair.
An interesting perspective by Jerry Isaak about 'bros with Go-pros' (not his title but how social connectivity is affecting heuristics of BC travel and risk calculus.
My favorite this year was Don Sharaf.
Smart discussion of how to present forecast and risk info to various types of consumers to maximize absorption and utility. Perspective as a forecaster for Valdez Heli guides and pilots. He briefly mentioned, and I wish he had had time to expand or present more examples of, using photo manips to enhance/highlight features from the day's sometimes flat tour pics and allow predictions for the next day (cornice growth, WS, etc).
Anyway, good conference, well-attended.
Dale
