<br/><br/> "Although the number of avalanche fatalities in the United States in the 1980's was approximately 15 annually, that number has doubled, on average, in the last five years. More people are now killed on public land by avalanches, avalanche researchers report, than by any other natural event, including lightning, fires or tornadoes." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article examines safety precautions one should take in order to minimize the chances of being caught in an avalanche.
