I thought it might be usefull to create a thread dedicated to training and information regarding back country travel, safety, weather, first aid and avalanche training and awareness. Links to official websites, authors, schools and articles can be stored here as a "one stop shopping" resource for those looking for information.
To start, here is an excellent basic avalanche awareness brochure in PDF format published by the USFS and the Northwest Avalanche Center.
