		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure if this is good or bad news, but regardless, it&#8217;s news. The New York Times just ran a story on the science of avalanches. As any backcountry skier knows, understanding how avalanches work is a bit of art and science&#8230;and, in my opinion, luck. The story is no doubt in response to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just received the following email from a friend at the Northwest Avalanche Center. The email was originally sent by the owner of North Cascades Mountain Guides, Larry Goldie. As an avid backcountry skier, this is not what I want to hear. Hello Skiers, There is currently a set of circumstances in the backcountry that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is not the weekend to go backcountry skiing, at least here in the Northwest. Interestingly, the reason for what could be a truly hazadarous weekend for any sort of ski touring, has less to do with the Pacific Northwest and more to do with the Rockies. &#8220;This is the weakest snowpack I have seen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The west is experiencing a series of big snow storms. The arctic front that had created havoc here in Seattle is moving across the country dumping all sorts of snow in the mountains. Great for ski areas, bad for backcountry skiers. Just today, the day before Christmas, 2 snowmobilers were caught, buried and killed in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the many benefits to backcountry skiing in the Pacific Northwest (besides tons of snow and huge amounts of terrain) is we don&#8217;t have to worry AS MUCH about hoar frost. Which is why, while living in Whitefish, Montana, last winter, I was always a bit nervous ski touring. Although I wouldn&#8217;t say Whitefish [...]]]></description>

The avalanche video, showing the real-life story of a group of friends enjoying some epic hut skiing was, and is, a reminder that no matter how much avalanche experience you have, things can go wrong.

I stumbled across the Forest Service avalanche center website and uncovered this pretty cool little interactive avalanche game.(Although I suppose calling it a &#8216;game&#8217; isn&#8217;t very appropriate.) I applaud the forest service for providing such material, [...]]]></description>
