A sad truth: most fatal avalanches are caused by humans. An even sadder truth: many are preventable.

Because it’s so easy to use (as in, you don’t have dig around in your pack to find it) you and your buddies can discuss avalanche conditions as you leap-frog down a slope, or find each other after ping-ponging through the trees.
