It's that time of the year in the San Juans. Loads of snow, steep chutes and couloirs, and of course, avalanches.

But Ski Patrol is here to help. Watch and see how Ski Patrol blasts and clears avalanches, and find out

If going into the backcountry, one should know as much as possible about avalanches and avalanche safety in Telluride.
