Avalanche danger is downright spooky right now in Utah, so it is fitting that KSL Outdoors featured a story about how to stay safe in avalanche terrain. In it, they follow the Utah Avalanche Center’s Craig Gordon as he leads the Freeride Avalanche Workshop at Snowbasin. It’s a short bit that really generalizes the intricate details about snowpack, stability and safety protocols, but serves as a good reminder that no matter how we recreate in the backcountry, we need to educate ourselves by taking an avy course like this one.
Don’t forget to watch KSL Outdoors every Saturday night at 6:30pm and again at midnight after SNL. Check out the video, heed Craig Gorgon’s words, and stay safe in the backcountry!
