Avalanches are one of the biggest killers in the mountains.

Last season Europe had the highest number of avalanche deaths in five years. 75 people died with 44 in France and Switzerland.

Hundreds of thousands of Brits head to the mountains each year. Every single one of them that heads off-piste should have some basic avalanche safety training.

This year, Utah Avalanche Centre have teamed up with rider Jeremy Jones, Travis Rice, Jimmy Chin and Chris Davenport have teamed up to make this new campaign called Know Before You Go.

The idea is the more information people have about avalanche safety, the more lives that could potentially be saved. You can also read our guide to avalanche safety here.
