Know Before You Go from Trent Meisenheimer on Vimeo.
Backcountry skiing is growing at unprecedented rates. The allure of the mountains and the dream of untracked powder can trick anyone into thinking that an avalanche prone slope is safe. That’s why no one should go out into the backcountry to earn their turns without the proper knowledge, experience, practice, and education.
There aren’t many videos that highlight the hazards of avalanches and there should be more. The latest film produced by the CAIC, UAC, and other supporters called Know Before You Go is a short, 15-minute film that every backcountry user should watch right away. Watch it and share it with your friends.
“It doesn’t matter if you have made thousands of good calls – all it takes is one bad call and that is one too many. Some days the mountains are screaming GET OUT OF HERE and some days they are saying come on in – it’s time to party.” – Jeremy Jones
