Avalanche forecaster, educator, and Powder Cloud contributor Bruce Jamieson has recently published what might be one of the best reads for beginner and intermediate backcountry riders—”Avalanche Craft: Strategies for Reducing Risk in the Backcountry.” The e-book can be purchased at the Powder Cloud Store and read on your laptop, e-reader, tablet, or smartphone.

If you’re familiar with Jamieson’s previous publication, “Backcountry Avalanche Awareness.” “Avalanche Craft” is significantly updated, improved, and also includes trip-planning and terrain-mindset sections we’re especially keen on. This superbly crafted publication is well-organized, comprehensive, and efficiently covers all the topics required for a solid foundation in avalanche education. Purchase now for $5.50.
