Thanks for the responses guys, But yeah, I have pulled 6 times already just in March alone, it's part of the game man. Getting caught is part of the thrill and I accept it. I'm thinking about a GPS pack that makes air horn sounds and has built in ABS, and Avi Ball in addition to an avalung all in one pack. All the features are activated if the pack is not in motion for more then a minute, unless you already pulled your bag then all features are activated.
What you really need, my good man, is an avalanche poodle. Contact Tami Knight for further details.

"I have pulled 6 times already just in March alone, it's part of the game man. Getting caught is part of the thrill and I accept it."
Basically you have pulled your bag every other day or more in March and you are still skiing?
It would seem that you really aren't pulling in an avalanche but a minor soft snow sluff that wouldn't knock you over let alone bury you. Same stuff hundreds simply ski through everyday when the conditions are right. That IS part of the thrill but certainly no need for an avi pack to ski it.
First time you actually do get tossed, I suspect you'll rethink not only the pack but skiing in unsafe conditions as well. If you can walk away at all. Much more likely you'll have to buy new skis though and rehab what ever is left of your legs.
