Ski Cutting in the Backcountry: 9 Ways to Reduce the Obvious Risk

Powder Cloud is honored to have Bruce Jamieson present 9 ways to reduce the obvious risk when ski cutting in the backcountry. Jamieson is clear that these 9 essentials are for those backcountry users who choose to ski cut for the purpose of slope testing or controlling small slopes, and are willing to accept the obvious risk. Powder Cloud and Jamieson encourage learning from a very experienced mentor and-if you are going to do it-select a combination of predictable conditions and terrain that present less surprise and less risk.
