Book Reviews of Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain

Book Review: Excellent, Easy Read, Useful and Practical
Summary: 5 Stars

I really learned a lot of useful and practical avy knowledge after reading this book cover to cover. The book is well written and engages the reader. The author has extensive experience and demonstrates in the book a sense of humility that made me appreciate the importance of what he had to say. Part of the book focuses on the human factor of avalanche safety and risk communication amongst your group. I have a number of other avalanche books, and although I can always learn more about avalanche risk assessment and safe winter travel by reading as much as I can, I truly think I learned the most practical information from this book

Summary of Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain

Winter recreation in the backcountry has increased steadily over the years and so has the number of deaths and injuries caused by avalanches. As search and rescue teams are increasingly strapped for funding, self-education has become a larger necessity for snow-sport enthusiasts. The new edition of Bruce Tremper's seminal book is organized according to the structure of American Avalanche Association classes and all chapters have been updated and reviewed by peer experts.
