| Activity Disclaimer: There are risks and hazards inherent in any wilderness activity and those risks are compounded in winter snowcamping by severe weather, avalanche risk, and high elevations. In deep snow, trail markers often are buried or obliterated, and white-outs can make line-of-sight navigation impossible. There are also economic risks. Please note that governmental agencies can and often do seek to recover search and rescue costs through civil actions. This video series does not claim to minimize these risks or to alert you to all the hazards of the mountains in winter. This is a learning tool and should be viewed and studied as a supplemental source only. This is not a substitute for professional instruction, an experienced mentor or actual experience in the backcountry where one learns solid outdoors skills, responsible habits, and sound judgment. No one associated with the publication of this video series accepts responsibility for any injury, loss, or property damage that may result from participating in snowcamping and related activities. |
