Frozen… at the end of a -20 windchill day at @snowbird practicing avalanche safety, wilderness first aid, crevasse rescue and steep skiing skills with @patagonia and @samsaramtnexperience. No matter how many times I take a course, it's so good to practice, and I always learn something new. I can't stress how important it is to be dialed with your partners and your skills before heading into the backcountry. Take the time, get the gear and know how to use it. I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue practicing these life-saving skills. #bigmtndreams Photo: @j_nielsen
