The Human Factor - Intro

A 5 Part Series from Powder Magazine

Powder Magazine explores the Human Factor when it comes to avalanche safety. This is an important issue for backcountry travel. Even though you have guides when you are catskiing there is still the decisions you make that can make your day the best day of your life or the worst. We can be lulled into this false sense of security when we are under the guidance of a guide, have the latest in transceiver technology and are wearing an airbag. The mountains are powerful, make you decisions wisely and enjoy all that nature has to offer.
