 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I have been to a few talks, done some rescue practice with guides and follow most of the avalanche/off piste safety threads on here but would also like a book to further increase my knowledge. Any recommendations please?

@jbob, read that myself as a total novice on the subject and found it great. The booklet that came with my Ortovox transceiver was also pretty helpful, it was basically a summary version of the Tremper book.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@leggyblonde, I think this one is a good option to have a look at -- Snow Sense: A Guide to evaluating Snow Avalanche Hazard by Jill Fredston and Doug Fesler

Bruce Tremper! He writes beautifully and he is addressing YOU when you are reading!

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

Tremper is without doubt good!
However, shameless plug for "Avalanche know-how" written in layman's terms by my oldest friend, Brian Farquharson
