You want to have more fun and stay safe when you go off piste.

But you cannot find practical help to do both of these.  Are you concerned that you may be taking too many risks when you go off piste?   Perhaps you are not sure how to manage the risks?   Do you struggle to find the best snow and stay safe?

Are there some things holding you back? Do you want more practical advice and helpful information?  Do you want to be safe when you go off piste without a guide?  Do you want to get more out of the experience than just following an off-piste ski guide?

Would you like to understand how you can stay safe and still have great fun at the same time?  Would you like to have more knowledge and more confidence when you go off piste?

I just wanted to say what an excellent news letter on the current conditions and where to find the best snow. Please keep up the good work. Thomas

I do find Henry's e-zine very informative and read it straight away. It's made my think twice about venturing off piste without a guide. If anything it makes me want to spend another season out there.  Nick Lewis

It was a distinct pleasure having you as a leading expert in avalanche evaluation to arouse our team of AT instructors with an inspirational insight and a refreshing look at current thinking within this specialised field.  The overwhelming response from the team is that the workshop was a tremendous success.
