SnowsBest chats about risk with Alex Parsons (who is lucky to be alive). The snowboard instructor and backcountry guide was bitten by a deadly mulga king brown snake in outback Western Australia on a remote rafting trip. With no chance of rescue for 12 hours in the dark of night, she should not have survived. Alex speaks publicly for the first time in this emotional and life affirming interview.
