How to survive an avalanche
- If you are skiing, while skiing downhill, ski left or right to get out of the way.
- Grab for a tree.
- No tree? Swim!
- Getting away in a snowmobile will work too.
- You can suffocate if you get caught in an avalanche, which can happen if you are in for longer than 15 min.
