Know Before You Go
Our good friend Kim Havell knows how to navigate the backcountry safely and with confidence, do you? A few pieces of critical gear are absolutely necessary to have a great time on snow, but the knowledge of how to use them is arguably more important.
This module will walk you through what pieces of gear are standard for safe backcountry navigation, and give you an in-depth analysis of how and when to use them. Have fun, come home safe, know before you go. 👉🏼 bit.ly/KBYG-Safety
