Those questions are personal for Utah Avalanche Center Executive Director Nazz Kurth. His own journey into the backcountry has shaped the way he thinks about risk, responsibility and the remarkable community that has grown around Utah’s mountains.
This is a story about the pull of the mountains, the people who care for one another in them, and why getting home safely is at the heart of it all.
