Description

On a clear, cold morning in January 1998, within the Selkirk Mountains of southeastern British Columbia, an enormous avalanche buried six experienced back-country skiers. They didn’t have a possibility. Thus started the worst day for avalanche deaths in Canadian history and one of the crucial tragic in North The us.

This book is the biography of a deadly avalanche, detailing how a combination of factors—steep, open terrain, an unstable winter snow pack primed to slide, aggravating weather conditions, and a trigger provided by a handful of back-country skiers—resulted in human tragedy. It’s the story of a particular avalanche, however it illustrates a natural phenomenon that has threatened human endeavours all through the world since people first ventured throughout the reach of steep snow slopes.
