In the backcountry, education is of paramount importance, especially when it comes to avalanche smarts. In this week’s Friday Video, Salt Lake City’s own 4FRNT Skis went along with two of Snowbird’s finest ski patrollers (including good UtahOutside.com friend, Sean Zimmerman-Wall) as they go through pretty much every safety tip you need to know to make your ski tour a success. In “Tech Talk – Touring,” they go over everything from the requisite equipment you need to carry and how to use it properly, to terrain management, to beacon checks and snow pit analysis.
Watch it, learn it, remember it, and stay safe out there!
