3rd day

Today we spent most of the day on the mountain. We met up with a man from ski patrol and he showed us what devices they use to measure the amount of new snow, density of the snow, etc. I learned a lot about more avalanches as well. I learned a lot more about the ways avalanches form and the tools needed in order to successfully save someone if they are unfortunately stuck in an avalanche. I think the most thrilling part about today was that we weren't sitting a the classroom all day. It was fun to get out on the mountain and experience what most ski patrollers do on a daily basis.
