Latest work for Ascent Backcountry Snow Journal: An Unhelpful Saint Bernard. The story is about a skier who finds that he is no more helpful in a ski emergency than the mythical Saint Bernard with a keg of whiskey around his neck. I really enjoyed this one as I can remember watching Saturday morning cartoons where the Saint Bernard would come to revive Elmer Fudd or Porky Pig but everybody just ends up drunk.
