Drew's Blogcast - "Low Danger"




Utah Avalanche Center Podcast show

Summary: On Saturday, January 5, the danger rating in the Salt Lake area went Low. As you'd expect, people got out after it. By day's end there were eight skier-triggered avalanches, with four people caught and carried in separate events, and one visit to the ER. In this episode, we put one of those accidents under the microscope and examine how the forecast affects decision making. Our guests: Forecaster Greg Gagne, backcountry skiers Vlad Pascu and Jackie Long, Professor Russ Costa, and researcher Laura Maguire.
