Virtual Meet-Up Series: Backcountry Safety with Lanna

4/9/2020

We caught up with avid backcountry adventurist and Tahoe resident, Lanna Merkley for an introduction to Backcountry Safety. During our Instagram Live session, we dove into gear, avalanche reports and courses highly recommended before going into the backcountry for the first time. Lanna is a great resource herself and is open to walking any beginner through her safety checklist - reach out to her at @LANNAMALINTHEWILD on Instagram! Some brief highlights below!
- Know your snow. Always check local avalanche reports.
- Always wear a helmet!
- Shop local for your gear!
