saw this article today and it got me thinking. Any of you folks out there had any bad experiences with these at your resorts?

Yeah you have to be really careful with these. I try not to ski trees if I'm solo on a powder day.

I forget where I stumbled across this, but you watch this once, you'll never go near those things ...

Group of skiers whose intention was to film some avalanche rescue steps ... they ended up pulling one of their number (successfully) out of a tree well.

Why is it people always end up upside down in those things?
