I travelled to Jackson WY last week and sat down with Don Sharaf. Don has spent the better part of the past 3 decades working in the snow and avalanche realm while forecasting, guiding, and educating others in this high risk environment. We break down what we can do given all of our awareness of human factors, talk about how to measure success and failure in avalanche education, whether confidence is outpacing competence and so much more. We recorded this interview in a county library, and unfortunately there was some interference in the recording that needed to be scrubbed out, resulting in the interview sound quality becoming a bit dull. Sorry about that! After you listen to the show, make sure you check out Don's interview with Drew Hardesty on the UAC podcast. Below is a link to that. If you are interested in the Gordon Graham video referenced, there is also a link to that below.
