About the book
Fully revised and updated, this edition includes information on the latest digital avalanche transceivers and the changes in search patterns these have enabled, as well as updated terminology to reflect current practice. The book also features a new section on heuristics—the psychological traps that can affect decision-making in the backcountry, where choices may be based on past experience rather than an objective assessment of existing conditions.
