But suppose you are a tourer involved in a avalanche. What would you do if you were one of the survivors? sur-vivors? It's interesting how many people survive avalanche accidents. It's a fact that nine out of every ten people caught by avalanches survive. It's also interesting to note that one out of four victims completely buried survive. It would seem that the key to survival is to reach the surface. If you are a survivor or eyewitness to a avalanche accident, you need to act quickly and positively. Your reactions over the next few minutes may mean the difference between life and death for the victim involved. involv-ed. First, try and fix the victim's last seen point and mark it with anything that you will be able to look back on as a reference point. It's always safer to be on the bed surface of the avalanche. It can be dangerous when the slide occurred mid-slope leaving a large amount of snow above the fracture line. Search the last-seen point for any clues of the victim. You should be looking for a ski tip or ski poles, clothing or anything that could be attached at-tached to the victim. Probe into likely like-ly areas, uphill sides of trees and rocks, benches and contour changes in the slope. Always search the toe of the debris; many victims are found in this area. If the ski party is wearing pieps, all survivors must turn beacons to "off" or "receive." While conducting conduc-ting a hasty search, all rescue members should be listening for the victim's beacon signal. Once the signal is picked up, it should only be a matter of minutes before you find the buried victim. If you are skiing with a large party and it looks like another avalanche is possible, one person should be on lookout as an avalanche guard. It is important to establish some kind of leadership when looking for an avalanche victim. It is easy to allow rescues to get out of hand and organization can help speed up the recovery. When and if the victim is rescued, a good first aid background is critical. In most cases CPR is required. re-quired. Bleeding should be checked and stopped. Mobilization and transportation is very important, and check for hypothermia. Most likely you will never get the chance to be a victim or a rescuer in the case of an avalanche. But hopefully, if the chance arises, you will be prepared. P.C. Ski Team returns from Kelly Canyon, Id. Four members of the Park City Ski Team traveled to Kelly Canyon, Idaho last weekend to compete in a Spring Fling Slalom race, according to head coach for the team Fred Tur-ton. Tur-ton.
