Routefinding. Once in the backcountry, it's important to pick a route that avoids primary avalanche terrain if at all possible, as conditions may change from day to day or even hour to hour. When in doubt, pick a route that follows a ridge top or wide valley bottom if possible. Look for signs of previous avalanche activity such as vegetation cues, old fracture lines and debris piles and avoid them. Stay clear of likely slide paths and run out zones if at all possible.  4, record 1, English, - routefinding
