Free delivery available · Amazon buyer protection
This concise and accessible guide explains the dangers associated with avalanches and how to avoid them, providing essential knowledge for anyone venturing into avalanche terrain.
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.
