Senior Mount Washington Ski Patroller Bill Phipps shares his tips for staying safe in the backcountry during Avalanche Awareness Day at Mount Washington Jan. 14.
Remember: Get the gear (transceiver, probe, shovel); get the training (take an AST course); get the forecast. The Canadian Avalanche Centre can help with all three, http://www.avalanche.ca/cac.
