Brooks-Range Mountaineering partners with American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) to provide informational videos for performing safely in the backcountry just in time for spring adventures. Thanks to blue skies and solid snow coverage, spring is a great time to explore, but it's important to be prepared for cooler temperatures and avalanche hazards. These videos provide step-by-step directions and applicable scenarios for five different Brooks-Range backcountry products to ensure safety and expertise when seeking out those exhilarating days.
