Avalanche Survival Tips

1. Struggle to stay on top of the snow by

using a freestyle swimming motion.

2. If you are only partially buried, dig your

way out with your hands or by kicking at the snow.

If you have a ski pole, poke through the snow until you feel open air.

3. If you are completely buried, dig a small hole

around you and spit in it. The saliva will fall down,

giving you an idea of which direction is up. Dig up.
