Human factors in ski touring "FACETS"

As we look to survive this heat wave this summer what better time to look at human factors in decision-making than now? 
 
A great acronym in the industry is FACETS.  It is a helpful guide to trigger your thought process when thinking about the human factors that might affect our decisions in avalanche terrain. Here is an article from the Alpine Club of Calgary and a video from BCA to describe this process and how we can incorporate it into our daily winter travel.  This is a great topic to have a look at and brush up on before the snow flies this fall.
