Black Diamond is very excited to announce the launch of The Human Factor – collaboration between Powder Magazine and Black Diamond Equipment. Over the next five weeks, one chapter will be released from the five-part feature each Tuesday. The multimedia story is told through words, photos, videos and the survivors. “With this collaboration, the POWDER staff went to work, focusing on a narrative thread that would tell this overarching theme, looking at avalanches and the people involved to see if we could find answers to mitigate future heartbreak. We assigned author and skier David Page to connect the dots between several recent avalanche events that occurred during the 2013-14 winter. After traveling across the American West and talking to survivors, avalanche experts, and veteran skiers, he returned with a 10,000-word story written for skiers. Page analyzed what went wrong, listened to those involved, and worked to unveil tools to help us avoid more horror. The Human Factor is the outcome.” powder/human-factor/#
