Know Before You Go (KBYG) is a free avalanche awareness program presented by the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. Not much science, no warnings to stay out of the mountains, and no formulas to memorize. In about an hour, you see the destructive power of avalanches, understand when and why they happen, and learn how you can have fun in the mountains and avoid avalanches.
This session was led by Ben Pritchett, an expert with the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, and ends with a Q&A session with even more information.
