Avalanche Knowledge
Avalanches are a real danger for all those who visit snowy mountainous areas. Avalanches claim hundreds of lives worldwide every year and leave thousands wounded. Almost all the people who are caught in avalanches are caught by a slide that was triggered by themselves or a member of their company. Many of these accidents could have been avoided if those involved had a higher degree of avalanche knowledge.
Learn about the distinct kinds of Avalanches, how to prevent causing one avalanche, how to identify the risks and how to perform search and rescue in such situations. Avalanches kill skiers and boarders every year. There are many risk factors and many possible causes but there’s a lot you can do to reduce your own risk.
