This short video was put together by Backcountry Access and highlights strategic shoveling. Shoveling is the most time consuming part of an avalanche rescue, and is the phase where rescue times can be greatly reduced using strategic methods. This video is in no way a substitute for an avalanche safety course. Visit avtraining.org or avalanche.org to find an avalanche safety course near you.
