This is part three of the Backcountry Safety Basics series, a multi-part series on backcountry safety. The series will cover four basic tenets of backcountry safety: snow science, avalanche terrain, group dynamics, and avalanche forecasts.
The goal of this series is to provide baseline knowledge about how to stay alive in the backcountry.
This is not a substitute for a certified AIARE avalanche course.
