knowledge is power

Knowledge is Power in Avalanche Terrain:

avalanche

In North America, about 30 people die in avalanches each year. We all need the knowledge to avoid getting into these avalanches and becoming another statistic. The Utah Avalanche Centerโ€™s Trent Meisenheimer and Craig Gordon wrote this article on December 5th, 2013. Itโ€™s a great piece that we can all learn a lot from. Itโ€™s not a mystery that avalanche professionals like Bruce Tremper (Utah Avalanche Center) or Dr. Bruce Jamieson (Avalanche Researcher) can create life-long careers in backcountry avalanche terrain, and theyโ€™ve been doing this longer than some of us have been alive. Are they really just that LUCKY, or is it [โ€ฆ]
