Avalanche Updates

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...)
