Sometimes its a story of personal loss like Brian Lundstedt’s that strike a chord and snap us into the reality of avalanche danger. We truly appreciate Brain’s advocacy and willingness to share his story. Please share this around and let people know that avalanche education has to go hand and hand with backcountry snowmobiling.

A great place to start is by visiting avtraining.org.  Please be safe out there and remember the most important part of backcountry riding is making it home safe.
