“The Backcountry Game creates a unique and fun experience where players are able to practice and communicate about avalanche awareness through a board game rather than a textbook.”

“I had a chance to preview The Backcountry Game at a social gathering. The game provided a social experience with fun characters and beautiful graphics. At the same time, it reinforced the importance of respect for the mountain environment, preparedness and communication. It introduces the tools available for risk management in backcountry skiing in an entertaining and non threatening way. There seems to be room within the game for instructors to add their own content or observations to meet each student at their level. ”
