My understanding is that the mountains in Australia have more in common with the mid-Atlantic hills and northeast mountains than the Rockies. There is backcountry but it's relatively mellow. Not at all like New Zealand where there is hell skiing.Assume if there was backcountry that it could start an avalanche, too.
Did you know right away? I can imagine thinking it was a problem with my ski, the way that people driving think they have a flat tire during an earthquake.I was on that flat part skiing past chair 5 at Mammoth when an earthquake came. Pretty interesting.
Watch out when you come West. We get em.Eek that'd be scary! Not that I want to be in an earthquake not skiing either.

No not skiing but both Tahoe and Mammoth have had earthquakes. I was born and raised in SF and we had earthquake drills ..... I was in SC for the BIG earthquake in 1989 and was scared s**tless.Have you had one skiing? I’ve only been to CA once, and was lucky enough not to experience any then. Haha I’d prefer to keep it that way.
It did feel like an earthquake, and everyone else around was confirming by their reactions. But I don't think grasped it on my own right away.Did you know right away? I can imagine thinking it was a problem with my ski, the way that people driving think they have a flat tire during an earthquake.
My roommate in grad school was from LA, and she had what I think was PTSD from the 1994 Northridge quake.

That quake was another huge one. BF's daughter was at UCLA then and I remember the terrified phone call!My roommate in grad school was from LA, and she had what I think was PTSD from the 1994 Northridge quake. (At the time, I don’t think society had as good a grasp on PTSD, sadly)
