Avalanche Safety for Ouray areas
Persistent Slab avalanches can be triggered days to weeks after the last storm. They often propagate across and beyond terrain features that would otherwise confine Wind and Storm Slab avalanches. In some cases they can be triggered remotely, from low-angle terrain or adjacent slopes. Give yourself a wide safety
As we enter the winter season make sure you are educated for backcountry use. Avalanches don't discriminate... Whether you are a snowmobiler, skier, or hiker, it is equally dangerous. See the five steps to help you know before you go.
Get out in front of backcountry danger. 科罗拉多州's backcountry is vast and beautiful, but it can change in an instant.

You need the right tools for the right job. 回来country adventures require the best gear for optimal safety. See what is recommended below.
1)准备好装备
雪崩浮筒包
-
An avalanche backpack is a backpack with an integrated avalanche airbag system. The avalanche airbag is basically a large balloon that inflates if you pull a cord or handle. The inflated airbag will make it less likely to be completely buried by an avalanche, potentially helping you to be rescued faster.

可折叠的探针
-
A metal rod used to probe through avalanche debris for buried victims. Avalanche probes are a must for the backcountry. They can knock precious minutes off rescue times in an avalanche situation.

可折叠的铲

An avalanche shovel is more compact than a regular snow shovel. BCA Dozer shovels can be detached from the shaft to be easy to pack and carry into the backcountry. Research has shown that shoveling is the most time-consuming aspect of an avalanche rescue.

In a situation with an avalanche this is key for communicating with the rest of your group. Outside of avalanche danger, it is great to use for snowmobiles or snowbike users.

Varies depending on which course you take
# Knowbeforeyougo
出发前要知道 (KBYG) is a free avalanche awareness program. Not much science, no warnings to stay out of the mountains, no formulas to memorize. 大约一小时后, you will see the destructive power of avalanches, understand when and why they happen, and how you can have fun in the mountains and avoid avalanches.
Make sure you know what the weather is going to be, what the current conditions are, and what areas you should be avoiding.

Current 天气 forecast for Ouray, Co
Know the terrain you are about to go into. Know the conditions of the mountain and the obstacles that you may encounter and the best places to escape a potential hazard.
4)了解情况
寻找新雪 & 树的碎片
注意裂缝
了解路线
If there is a slightest chance you think an avalanche could trigger, don't do it. Is a couple of minutes of adrenaline worth your life or someone else's? Don't stop in avalanche paths or runouts. Park on the outsides of the path.
5)远离危险
板雪崩.
Remote triggering is a nefarious feature of Persistent Slab avalanches. With certain snowpack conditions, we can start a crack on a low-angle slope that travels through the snow to a steeper slope, 释放雪崩.
不稳定的积雪.
回来country riders triggered three large avalanches remotely on 12月ember 24, 2020. A remote-triggered avalanche is one the occurs away from the point where they are triggered. They can be unpredictable, wide, and very dangerous.
