Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Any suggestions on packs to get for short touring, and quick out the gate runs? Pack with an Avalung, or a pack with an airbag? Or a pack with an airbag and an avalung harness which is separate from the pack? I guess I could answer my own question, I know that having both couldn't hurt, but is it necessary for someone who does resort access, short touring packs, hitch hiking passes?

Whether it's worth it is your call alone.
FIWI, I've found the BD Covert Avalung to be both brilliant and way more resilient to use/abuse over a period of time than you could possibly expect.
OTOH, if I had the money, I'd be buying an airbag system...
