The purchase of all the necessary equipment to venture into the unknown is one thing - being able to use and implement the technology in any situation is another altogether. We implore anyone looking to take on these kinds of adventures to undergo regular, certified training and practice how to use each part of your avalanche kit extensively before placing others' lives in your hands. We love the outdoors and there is nothing quite like dropping into an untouched powder bowl after a long hike to find it, but please always take care of yourself and the others in your group.
