Avalanche
Simon Trautman, an avalanche specialist at the Northwest Avalanche Center in Washington, said, the most powerful thing when it comes to avalanche safety:
"Get the forecast. Get the training. Get the gear.”
Also, he think, that having a healthy respect for the mountains and weather conditions at all times is critical.
