The Sharp End Podcast The Sharp End Podcast is a safe, judgment free space to share near misses and accidents. Let's learn!

We all need to shift our way of thinking about accidents and intentionally create a culture that allows people to share their stories, judgment, shame, and guilt-free. It’s easy to be an armchair expert, but it’s not that easy to listen and learn. By doing that, we can all grow into a much stronger outdoor community by learning from each other and supporting one another along the way.

As Dominic points out in Episode 117, backcountry skiing is inherently dangerous. Even with the right gear, preparation, and partners, accidents can still happen.

That’s why it’s so important to:
1️⃣ Reflect on the kind of partner you want to be
2️⃣ Reflect on the kind of partner you want to go out with
3️⃣ Always be prepared & plan for the worst-case scenario

Preparation also means having reliable ways to communicate if something goes wrong. In many remote areas, cell service isn’t an option, so satellite communication devices are essential.

What type of satellite device do you carry?
