There are many, many books out there and I'm not saying this is better than any others, but it's free and it can't hurt to read it, but it may not to!
Cick here for on line book.

Very good to be able to "leaf" through it on-line. I have books on avalanche safety but have now bookmarked this.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Very good!
How about changing the title of the post so more people click-thru? I nearly ignored it because I thought it was going to be another schlock-horror newspaper article 
Maybe something like...."Off-piste skiing? Interactive web-page to remind you of safety and planning tips"
Enjoy!

I must admit I hardly ever look on the equipment area of snowheads - unless i am in need of new equipment. It wouldn't have occurred to me it could have an avalanche-safety book featured.

I like the 'Find a safe route' task, its a fun and clear way to learn about route selection.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I have also used this interactive learning program before for training in avalanche and snow safety. I've got it in German but an English download is available for 16 Euros I think.
Designed by the guys at the Davos snow and avalanche research centre.

You know it makes sense.

Just had a quick look, must bookmark it and spend a bit of time on it. Nice to get the "plot a route" right
