YouTube Poster

Have you ever considered using a rifle grenade to trigger an avalanche in the backcountry? Well that is just one of the safety suggestions made in this 1965 Army avalanche hazard training videos.

While we don’t suggest you use this video as a guideline for current avalanche safety protocol but it’s interesting to look back and see how our troops were trained in the 60’s to stay safe in the mountains. Be safe out there and Know Before You Go!
