Just wanted to post this here since women are the voice of reason with many riding groups and value avalanche education.
Please encourage the guys you know to take the class. Unfortunately, the long term western local male snowmobiler has accounted for almost 100% of the snowmobile avalanche fatalities in the US the last few years. They are the toughest ones to get in classes.
