A backcountry skier has died in an avalanche near a remote peak in California’s rural, mountainous north.
A skier and a snowboarder from Ashland, Ore., trekked up to a ridge on a snowy flank of Etna Mountain in Siskiyou County on Wednesday to an elevation of about 6,650 feet. As they prepared to strap into their gear for the ride down, they were caught in an avalanche and carried down the mountain, according to an incident report from the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center.

Naturalist Obi Kaufmann on the Power of Forests: ‘Be Ready To Change the Story’
With his new “field atlas,” Kaufmann challenges readers to better understand the places where we live and to protect them.

Kaufmann’s new book isn’t focused on wildfire specifically (that will come in a later volume), but he does lay important groundwork to help people better understand the complex ecology of the state’s varied forests and why they are so important.
