[~Rowdy~]

Saw this on fb, pretty interesting. I also ordered the book Avalanche Accidents in Canada that details them, can't wait to get that book.

40.4% of decedents were snowmobiling, 30.6% were skiing, 18.0% were heli-skiing, 4.9% were snowboarding, 4.4% were hiking or climbing, and 1.6% were engaged in occupational activities.......


so 40.4% sledding, 53.5% skiing/boarding..... etc....
