Avalanche DVD

Proper training and experience is of the utmost importance for backcountry enthusiasts. Experts often recommend a series of courses as a means of properly training new winter adventurists. As a supplemental source of information, many outdoor retailers will have at least one safety-oriented avalanche DVD.

An avalanche DVD is not intended to be used as the sole source of safety information for backcountry excursions. They often contain valuable information, but nothing can take the place of learning from an experienced outdoorsman. This is important to keep in mind when learning about avalanche safety.

The main advantage of watching an avalanche DVD is that one can actually see what happens during an avalanche. The awesome power of these events is often underestimated by people who have not witnessed one for themselves. A video can show, in real time, the destructive nature of an avalanche.
