The Backcountry Fly Fishing Podcast

Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain with Bruce Tremper

Ross Izard Season 2 Episode 8

If you hike, snowshoe, snowmobile, cross-country ski, or do anything else in deep snow to reach your favorite backcountry fishing destinations in the winter or spring, you need to be thinking about avalanches. And the truth is that a lot of fly fishers (including Ross) don't know as much about these cold killers as they should. 

This week's episode features an interview with world-renowned avalanche expert Bruce Tremper, who quite literally wrote the book on avalanche safety in the United States. Bruce helps us better understand avalanches, their causes, and how to avoid them in the backcountry. 

This is a must-listen before you hit those snowy mountain trails.
