Description
""Dragons in the Snow"explores the world of avalanches. Journalist Power sets the reader down in the midst of a February 2017 blizzard that raked the Uinta Range as nine snowboarders made their way into the backcountry for a day of intense adventure. Meanwhile, Craig Gordon, one of the lead avalanche forecasters at the Utah Avalanche Center in. Salt Lake City, was tracking the storm and its impact, and found himself posting one of the most dire avalanche forecasts and warnings in his seventeen years of forecasting. From this fast-paced opening sequence, Power expands his focus, to include perspectives and experiences of men and women who have been caught in avalanches, the R&D of avalanche forecasting and equipment, the role of avalanche dogs, the effects of climate change on winter sports, and so much more"--,Provided by publisher.
