{"product_id":"9781926685250","title":"In the Path of an Avalanche: A True Story","description":"On a clear, cold morning in January 1998, in the Selkirk Mountains of southeastern British Columbia, a massive avalanche buried six experienced back-country skiers. They didn’t have a chance. Thus began the worst day for avalanche deaths in Canadian history and one of the most tragic in North America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is the biography of a deadly avalanche, detailing how a combination of factors—steep, open terrain, an unstable winter snow pack primed to slide, aggravating weather conditions, and a trigger provided by a handful of back-country skiers—resulted in human tragedy. It is the story of a particular avalanche, but it illustrates a natural phenomenon that has threatened human endeavours throughout the world since people first ventured within the reach of steep snow slopes.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Greystone Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154314117360,"sku":"9781926685250","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781926685250_p0.jpg?v=1763635772","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781926685250","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
