Not related to avalanche safety, but the following may be of interest to rescuers:
  • I created a new website, with the help of my friend Andy Rich, named RopeRescueTraining.com. It’s full of rope rescue knowhow.
  • Google is discontinuing the Google Earth plugin which will prevent the interactive map on WasatchBackcountrySkiing.com from working in Chrome. I am developing a replacement, but it will take many months.
  • I released new versions of the Android and iOS versions of the backcountry map in September.
  • I also released a major update to my PC-based rope rescue software, vRigger. (You can enter “BR100” when ordering the software to save $100.)
  • If you are troubled by insomnia, you can always read my rescue book, Mountain Responder.


Stay Safe,
