Sledding in Avalanche Terrain - Reducing the Risk

Sledding in Avalanche Terrain - Reducing the Risk
 
  Price / Prix: $8.95

Snowmobiling in the mountains, like many enjoyable things in life, involves risk. Sledding on or near slopes steeper than 30 degrees, brings avalanche danger into the equation. There are many proven techniques one can apply to reduce the risk of getting caught, injured or killed by avalanches.

Sledding in Avalanche Terrain was written by Bruce Jamieson and Darcy Svederus who are both long time avalanche professionals. This book was produced by the Canadian Avalanche Association. This book is a must read book for anyone who ventures into the backcountry on a sled. The information in this book covers the following topics:

  • Avalanche terrain and how to recognize avalanche danger
  • Mountain snowpack
  • Search and rescue techniques
  • Safety measures for sledding in avalanche terrain
  • Field tests for recognizing unstable snow
  • Avalanche danger ratings
  • Phone numbers for current avalanche conditions
