Required reading for backcountry safety.

Winter recreation in the backcountry has increased steadily over the years and so has the number of deaths and injuries caused by avalanches. As search and rescue teams are increasingly strapped for funding, self-education has become a larger necessity for snow-sport enthusiasts. The new edition of Bruce Tremper's seminal Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain Book is organized according to the structure of American Avalanche Association classes and all chapters have been updated and reviewed by peer experts. While it's a valuable resource, this book does not replace the need for an avalanche safety course, equipment, and a knowledgeable partner.
