Read my piece “A Winter in Avalanche Country” in this month’s Moonshine Ink. It’s been a long time since I’ve done some real reporting, and this story had me in offices and on the phone with retailers, avalanche experts, and mountain guides digging up some cool statistics about this winter in Tahoe and the rising popularity of backcountry skiing. You can also scope out my Top 12 Avalanche Safety Tips from my recent AIARE Level 1 course on Tahoe Mountain Sports’ blog.
