Doing Stuff Outdoors-64

Just a single interview on today's show but probably the most significant and important program we've produced so far. Nick Reese is a climber, skier, blogger and outdoor enthusiast in Canberra, Australia. He's been on the show before. A few weeks ago, he emailed Gary and told him about a weekend backcountry skiing trip he'd been on that ended in tragedy. Nick and his buddy were witnesses to an avalanche that resulted in the death of a young skier. It was just the third avalanche fatality in Australia in the last 50 years. Nick was involved in the search for this skier. He's written a detailed and compelling account of the tragedy in his blog 'Wild Adventure' and on the Australian climbing site 'Chockstone Forum'

If you're a backcountry skier or boarder or if you spend time in the mountains, you owe it to yourself to listen to this interview.
