Avalanche Safety: Snowpack Compression Test

SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/lifeofluke In the Whistler backcountry I dig a snowpit and perform a compression test to check for unstable layers in the snowpack. My aim is to share basic knowledge and discuss avalanche safety for backcountry users, as the mountains in winter are a beautiful place to be. Learn about avalanches, take a safety course, and check forecasts at avalanche.ca Thanks for watching! Video and editing by Luke Gibson.
