For years my job for part of the winter was working as a backcountry avalanche forecaster. The profession put me in the interesting position of observing how others behaved with various conditions in the backcountry.

In this image I am walking up to study a crown profile that was triggered by a backcountry user. Take an avalanche course or refresher, winter schedules are up now, encourage your friends to do so as well. Encourage, question, and be safe out there. Read your local avalanche bulletin, make a plan for the day, choose terrain wisely. Go safely. Winter is coming, look up avalanche courses (avalanche.org) and refreshers in your area for the coming early Winter. 📷: @hagephoto
