Henry's Avalanche Talk

Hoping for snowfall in the Northern French Alps at the start of next week! Unfortunately temperatures are becoming mild for the time of season again, but altitudes above 1600 m should benefit from this fresh snow.

Off-Piste Awareness - Essentials

Presented by Henry Schniewind, Avalanche and off-piste expert

The aim is to help you have a fun and successful time off-piste skiing and touring.

To achieve this aim, Henry Schniewind will reveal a decision-making risk and crisis management framework that facilitates understanding and application on the mountain. The overall result is risk reduction which leads to increased enjoyment too. Or, in Henry's words, "Safety is Freedom!".

In summary, the framework asks the question "Is if safe"?
The answer is "It depends on you"
It depends on:
- where you go (and when)
- how you go (down or up) and
- how well prepared you are for a crisis.

Understanding these themes will help you reduce risk off-piste skiing and touring to an acceptable level (like the level of risk of everyday activities such as driving) if you apply the risk reduction points.

The underlying theme "Learn and Apply" reinforces the fact that "Learning" (knowledge and experience) is only one part of risk reduction. It won't work on its own unless you have a method, or mode of thinking, that helps you apply what you know.

Henry's talk and framework will help you to apply what you know and reduce risk off-piste skiing and touring.

Safety is Freedom!

"En début d'après-midi ce lundi 20 janvier, un skieur d'une trentaine d'années a été pris dans une avalanche dans le secteur du lac de Crop, à Saint-Agnès, en Isère. Le PGHM appelle à une grande vigilance même si le risque est moyen (3/5)"
NON ! Le risque 3/5 n'est pas moyen, il est marqué (considerable pour sa traduction anglaise qu'il faudrait préférer...)
