Avalanche caught on head cam

Regardless of the avalanche risk category, EVERY member of a group off-piste should be fully equipped with shovel, transceiver and probe. Avalanches can still happen on Cat 1 days - they're just less likely.
It's no different to driving a car. Just because the road is dry, the light is good, and you know the area, doesn't mean you don't bother with a seat belt.

Ski safe.....
