"Avalanche starts at 5:06. At 5:34 I turn my skis left and start to make pressure with my edges (to avoid flying over the bergschrund). At 5:55 I manage to come out the side of the avalanche. Injuries: Not a scratch, just broke a whippet."As, look very carefully at the start of the avalanche, at around 5:10, and you can see the broken-up slab.
This blog provides updates on avalanche incidents and other news that I hope will be of educational value to my avalanche safety course students. In the summer and fall I'll shift the focus a bit to SAR topics for my Mountain Travel & Rescue students. I'll also toss in some springtime beta on Presidentials ski conditions. (And of course I probably won't be able to resist the occasional Micayla snow-related picture...)
