Jake Blauvelt Supports Backcountry Education with Mountain Light Project

Watch Adidas snowboarder Jake Blauvelt ride thigh-deep Alaskan pow faces and get inverted off cliffs in Canada and Japan in this fundraiser for backcountry education. 

Known for his high-speed, technical riding and massive airs, the Vermont native and Oakley team member produced this iTunes movie for the Mountain Light Project. The Washington nonprofit works with the American Alpine Institute to offer free youth avalanche and backcountry education for children and young adults, including opportunities to ride with local professional snowboarders at Mount Baker. 

The explanation of safety rules is made in advance in the form of a lecture or conversation in a populated area, at a tourist base or in a climbing camp.  Here the main means is the word itself.  The main purpose of the explanation is to form the concept of the essence of the rules, the necessity of studying and observing them in the interests of safety with the help of the second signal system in tourists and climbers.  There is a lot of useful information here - allclearmister.com At the same time, examples from the practice of climbing, when non-observance of a rule has led or could have led to misfortune An analysis of accidents with an indication of security breaches is also useful.
