Wasatch Backcountry Rescue is committed to provide Mountain safety, and Avalanche Awareness education to the general public.
When traveling in the back country, if you do have an accident the best chance for a successful rescue comes from the group you are traveling with.
Make sure that you call the Utah Avalanche Center (801) 364-1581 and get an up to date forecast or www.avalanche.org. Know your route, the history of the snowpack, recent avalanche activity, and the weather forecasted for that day.
Always carry the proper rescue gear, transceiver, shovel, probe, and a partner.
Wasatch Backcountry Rescue recommends that you get the proper training to make smart decisions in the mountains and know how to conduct a self rescue.
The following is a list of some educational programs that are available.
