Know Before You Go

" 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
Do you know when to back off and when it’s good to go? The Know Before You Go avalanche awareness program will get you started down the path of learning the language of the mountains and becoming a better and safer rider.
The Utah Avalanche Center and the Colorado Avalanche Information Center have teamed up with Avalanche Canada, Backcountry Access, the American Avalanche Association, the American Institute of Avalanche Research and Education, the National Avalanche Center, Sherpas Cinema, Red Bull Media House, Brainfarm, and others to bring you this beta which is unlike any other PSA you are likely to see.

Back in the day when even rainbows were in black and white there was no volume control or directional lights on the transceiver (Ramer) so we had to move it in between 'beeps' to determine which direction held the stronger signal. We used to practice a lot and the thought of multiple burials made us more committed to one person on the slope during descent and well spread out while hiking up. The wonderful days of wool (smelly when wet), anoraks and 215cm 2 X 4's has given way to Gortex, fleece and fat skis giving everyone the same chance to 'huck crystal cliffs' while 'popping pillows'. The way some of you girls and guys are riding it doesn't even look real! Here's a little something else, I always carried a fresh dog biscuit in a top pocket but would now prefer an airbag. AVALANCHE CANADA, keep up the great and vital work! Visit hickwilly.com to learn about the grandfather of outdoor ed. Edging skills or hospital bills!
