This is not a film, this is raw footage taken from a skier's headcam. Don't expect fast-paced editing. Do expect a long period of darkness. We found it pretty gripping.

We have just published two informative articles on Avalanches on UKC. Watch the film, read the articles, and try and stay safe in the mountains.

• Avalanche Basics Part 1: Anatomy of an Avalanche
• Avalanche Basics Part 2: Staying Safe
