Others, who insist that you must "earn your turns"--that is, ascend mountains on a pair of skis that have synthetic skins attached to the base for traction--find their own backcountry or hire guides. Jean Pavillard, a Swiss-born mountain guide whose Colorado tour service, Adventures to the Edge, leads such folks as trial lawyers and surgeons into avalanche country (up to $2,800 for a five-day group trek), says his clients are "addicted to risk management."

The company has become increasingly concerned about the breakneck speed at which those companies are forming alliances.

"This is a yeasty industry," says Microsoft general counsel William Neukom. "It's important to realize how fast things move."
