Candid Conversations - Zoomed In With Jim Frankenfield - Avalanches

 Every year people fall prey to avalanches while skiing.  Statistically speaking, if a person gets caught in one, they must be found and freed from the snow in approximately 15 minutes, or they will die.  Many, if not most, die from severe trauma.  

Understanding what to look for and what to do in an avalanche is essential.  Jim Frakenfiled is an expert climber and skier, and he's been in 2 avalanches and has escaped injury.  He is the founder of the Avalanche Center hosted on the web at https://www.avalanche-center.org/, and he joined me in a Zoom chat about his book Fatal Avalanches in the US: 2021-22: A Review of the Season's Fatal Avalanches.
