Summary: The best I've read
Comment: This is an excellent, highly enjoyable introductory book to avalanche safety. Tremper nicely balances technical detail with readability far better than any avy book I've seen. With its copious figures and pictures, it's almost impossible to get bogged down in the middle chapters and abandon the effort. Additionally, his chapter discussing the influence of human nature on avalanche accidents is unique and highly insightful. This is a wonderful first book that will inspire many readers to pursue further avalanche training, and hopefully save lives.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Must Read for anyone who loves winter outdoor activities
Comment: Trempers concise writing takes complex concepts and explains them in very clear terms bringing the subject of the book to life. Avalanches kill so many people because most people know so little about them. Tremper does a wonderful job of educating readers as to the importance of avalanche safety while keeping the readers, not only interested, but entertained and excited to learn more
