On this episode, we welcome back Jonathan Skinnider to the podcast, who shares with us his most recent backcountry skiing adventure near Nelson, British Columbia. Setting out for a beautiful day of backcountry skiing with a friend, Jonathan took a fall in a secluded mountain basin– ultimately breaking his ankle. Luckily, Jonathan had set up his Garmin inReach, a satellite communicator,  the day before heading out to the mountains, enabling him to easily alert Search and Rescue, who ultimately deployed a helicopter rescue. 

Learn more about Johnathan’s backcountry rescue and the training he had previously completed that had a hand in his calm approach to the situation. An electrifying experience, backcountry expeditions pose inherent risks; thus proper preparation and education are imperative. Tune in as Jonathan narrates his exciting experience and shares with us his tips and tricks for backcountry adventures.
