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.

Oh my! I would have never thought of that!
