You got your splitboard, you got your transceiver, you’re ready for the backcountry. Right? Well, maybe. Don’t be “that guy (or gal)” who ignorantly drops the 40 degree slope and sends half a mountain of snow towards your buddies. OK, that dude wasn’t ignorant, but it goes to show no matter how many precautions you take, avalanche danger is nothing to mess with.
