a dozen more turns

Post by plywood »

as a lot of you guys are skiing in the backcountry i thought i`d post a link to a video i recently found.

about the movie:
"A Dozen More Turns is the true story of five close friends, all with extensive avalanche education, who went on a New Year's Day hut trip in Southwestern Montana. A member of the group triggered an avalanche with truly devastating consequences. This film tells this tragic story in an effort to help backcountry enthusiasts re-calibrate their decision-making processes when up on the slopes. Using emotional interviews, science and compelling home video footage left behind by the group, each viewer is left wondering if simply having avalanche education is enough to save our lives in the backcountry. How much are we willing to risk for a dozen more turns?"

it`s a good 20 min. long, and they are fully worth it...

Can we set this post as a "sticky"?

I think this is probably the most worthwhile avalanche or just outdoor safety film I have seen.
