Happy Holidays everyone. Some of you may be visiting family and friends in non-mountainous regions of the world. If you need an excuse to take a break from the all of the festive fun you can tell everyone you need to brush up on your avalanche terrain route selection skills. Who can argue with you wanting to be safe?Avalanche Canada has a fun tool that allows you to work through a series of photos where you draw a line from a start point to an end point avoiding any dangers. If your route goes through something dangerous it will be flagged and a handy pop up box tells you what the danger is.
There's an intro video below and the actual exercises can be found here: https://www.avalanche.ca/tutorial/reducing-risk-in-the-field/route-finding-exercises
