Lou Dawson details his top three Myths of Avalanche Survival. Definitely worth a read if you think skiing in the back country is all fun and games—Lou knows how to be grim.

Recap:

1. My beacon is my savior—and needs more features.
2. If I’m buried in an avalanche, I’ll just snuggle in my nice little snow hole till my friends dig me out.
3. You get dug out of the snow and ski to the bar for a hot buttered rum.
