Last night I was browsing the world wide web so I could share some avalanche education with my readers. I stumbled across the Forest Service avalanche center website and uncovered this pretty cool little interactive avalanche game.(Although I suppose calling it a ‘game’ isn’t very appropriate.)
I applaud the forest service for providing such material, even if the outcome is somewhat obvious. Either way, I highly recommend everyone and anyone who plans on venturing into the backcountry, to check it out. http://www.avalanche.org/~nac/NAC/IBTpages/index.html. If anything, it will make you think about the next time you’re in this situation, because the fact of the matter is, you, I, we all, will be or have been.
