Couldn't agree more on the lessons here. There's a great book called the Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker that digs into this: how important spidey sense is and why women so often over-ride it.
Thanks so much Fern and Jen for sharing this! It takes a lot of courage to share avalanche encounters. Sounds like there might have been some heuristic traps (human factors) at play which might be valuable to examine. Happy that everyone is physically OK ❤️
My pleasure, and really thanks to Fern. Absolutely human factors at play, the biggest probably being the group that skied it the day before and gave it an unequivocal thumbs up.

I'm going to have to check out that book! Thanks for the recommendation.
