The key to having fun with winter backcountry sports is knowing that you have the skills and knowledge to get home safely. The more you know about snow stability and the sharper your decision making, the more likely you are to avoid avalanche danger and confidently enjoy your time in the mountains. In Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain, 3rd Edition, acclaimed snow and avalanche expert Bruce Tremper provides easy-to-understand safety tips and skills, including the latest research and techniques for evaluating snowpacks, as well as how to rescue companions in the event of an avalanche. Used as a textbook in many avalanche training courses, this guide is essential for everyone who ventures off groomed snow in the mountains: backcountry skiers, splitboarders, snowshoers, cross-country skiers, and snowmobilers.
Learn fundamental skills:
- How to evaluate terrain
- How to test snow stability
- How to control your exposure and lower your risk
- How to practice low-risk travel techniques
- What to do if you're caught in an avalanche
- How to manage the human factors that contribute to accidents
***This book is a great resource and starting point for backcountry travel, but Cripple Creek recommends taking an AIARE Level 1 course and in-bounds practice on touring equipment before venturing out of bounds***
