HOW TO SURVIVE AN AVALANCHE

---

1 Struggle to stay on top of the snow by using a freestyle swimming motion.

2 If you are only partially buried, dig your way out with your hands or by kicking at the snow.

If you have a ski pole, poke through the snow until you feel open air.

3 If you are completely buried, dig a small hole around you and spit in it.

The saliva will fall down, giving you an idea of which direction is up. Dig up.
