Due to the pandemic, most in-person avalanche safety courses are not being offered this winter. Before venturing out to potential areas of risk, check out online resources or have an experienced friend teach you the basic fundamentals of reading terrain, self-rescue, digging a snow cave, etc. Stay safe and healthy!

Last photo shoot of the year. No caption needed. Stay healthy and let’s work together on making 2021 a better year.

With just the right upward tilt of the tripod head, the wide angle lens distorted the sides of this scene and “bends” the wall of icicles above. This method wouldn’t be ideal for architecture, but it works well here. At least I think so!
