Michal Bryxí 🌱Two day #Lawinenkurs with #OutdoorPlus at the #GrindelwaldFirst area. Two days of #SkiTouring, practicing #kickTrns, running with #BarryVox, poking snow with #probes and digging in the same snow with #shovels. Some new skills unlocked, some (safe) #fuckups made and tons of motivation for leveling up.
#TIL that:
> "Barryvox" literally means "Barry's voice". The beeping sound of the original transceivers was likened to Barry barking as he followed the scent of a wayward traveler through the snow, both being "the sound of rescue on the way".
