Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Online avalanche awareness resources?

 Poster: A snowHead

Hi

Not sure if anyone can help me with this but thought it worth throwing it out to the floor... before I went away riding last year I found a fantastic Canadian website that offered comprehensive info about avalanches, how to avoid them and how to rescue victims.

What was particularly impressive was how it combined text, video, animation, and online exercises to form a very broad and deep (and scary) repository of knowledge on the subject.

Catch is: I didn't bookmark it and would like to refresh my knowledge before my trip this year. Anyone got any idea which website I'm talking about? The only other thing I can remember is that I think it was provided by an organisation based out of British Columbia.

Thanks

FN

PS: I'd like to point out I wouldn't consider going off-piste in dodgy conditions based solely on knowledge gained from a website but I do find the subject fascinating and want to learn more before going on a dedicated course.

Have you tried www.henrysavalanchetalk.com ? This is a great resource on avalanche awareness and mountain safety.
