“Remember to have your phone at least 50cm away from your transceiver.”

Honestly these types of simple reminder videos should be on mute with closed captions on a loop at all times at every little backcountry ski shop above their beacon section. A dedicated little monitor to educate but most importantly remind.  Watch, ingest, share.

***Notice how Xavier says avalanche backpacks are mandatory for backcountry kits.  I’m aware they are really expensive, especially if you are just dipping your toes in the backcountry scene and some argue they give people a false sense of security and lead to imprudent judgement calls in the backcountry, but if the foremost big mountain snowboarder in the world says they are absolutely mandatory, you should consider the wisdom behind those words.
