After hearing a fairly disturbing yet all too common story from my county’s search and rescue team - we gotta talk a little more about winter in Colorado and other high elevation areas across the western US. Listen in for some quick winter hiking tips and what not to do in avalanche territory.

Links mentioned in this episode:

Know before you go, check avalanche conditions and danger map.

If you backcountry ski and snowshoe at high elevation, take an avalanche awareness and rescue course.

If you want to get into winter hiking and aren't near any avalanche zones - join the upcoming Winter Hiking Workshop on Patreon.
