I'm new to the backcountry... so far, skiing with skiers who are far more experienced than I regarding backcountry and avie knowledge. I'm taking it slow, and learning a lot. Have been to the beach in LA about 20 times practicing beacon recoveries, buring it anywhere from 6 inches under to 3 feet down. I've got an avy course coming up in a few weeks that I'm definitely looking forward to as well.
My JONG question for the afternoon - what is the avalache rating system that I see posted in parentheses next to avalanche stats?
