Summary:
"'
Dragons
in the
Snow
' explores the world of avalanches. Journalist and avid skier, Edward Power sets the reader down in the midst of a February 2017 blizzard that raked Utah's Uinta Range, as nine snowboarders made their way into the backcountry for a day of intense adventure. As the boarders were taking their first turns, expert
avalanche
forecaster Craig Gordon was tracking the storm and its impact, posting one of the most dire
avalanche
forecasts and warnings in his career. In '
Dragons
in the
snow
,' Power delves into the research and science behind
avalanche
forecasting and rescue, weaving in the art of backcountry skiing as well as dramatic tales of
avalanche
accidents, rescues, and recoveries. And he paints compelling portraits of the men and women who have made the study of avalanches their life's work. The tales told by these
avalanche
forecasters, as well as the stories of the backcountry riders who may "wake the dragon" make for not just a compelling read, but also a powerful tool for raising
avalanche
awareness in everyone who plays in the winter backcountry."
