New Yorker article on avys

[Bob]

I came across this well-written article on avalanches in the New Yorker. A great read, highly recommended for awareness.

This passage reminded me of an observation I had during my many years in wildfire:

“Sometimes you need accidents,” Margreth said. Atwater, in his book, suggests that “people need a good scare not less than every three years. Otherwise they begin to think that avalanche hazard is a figment of someone’s imagination.”
