Mountain Safety

When considering a trip to the mountains it is vital to be educated and prepared. EVERY TRIP SHOULD BE A ROUND TRIP!
Get the gear: Ensure everyone in your group has an avalanche transceiver, shovel, and probe on their person and knows how to use them.
Get the forecast: Make a riding plan based on the current avalanche and weather forecast (http://www.avalanche.ca/cac/bulletins/latest). The higher the avalanche danger rating, the simpler the terrain should be.
Get the picture: If you see recent avalanche activity, unstable snow exists. Riding on or underneath steep slopes is dangerous, so pay attention to the snow conditions and terrain above you as you travel.
Get out of harms way: Don’t go into an unsafe area to help your stuck friend. Only expose one person at a time on all avalanche slopes. Don’t group up in runout zones or terrain traps.
