Avalanche transceiver training

We would argue that it is a bit impolite to ski off-piste with friends, carry all the safety equipment, but have no training in how to use it.

If you are wearing a transceiver, then that is a good start. If you are caught, your friends will be able to find you which is great. But you should be able to return the favour if they suffer an accident.

We provide you with a comprehensive introduction into how to use an
avalanche transceiver to recover a buried victim. By the end of the session you should be recovering buried transceivers within our target time of 5 minutes.

If you go out off-piste in a group and you have not had this training (or equivalent), you are increasing the risks for your friends that they may not be recovered within the 15 minute period in which the buried victim remains alive and breathing.

When you attend the transceiver training you will receive a copy of Henry’s Accident Reduction card plus a Safety Rescue card and the Ortovox Academy Safety booklet. 

• The Accident Reduction card provides you with an accident reduction framework, a ‘weapon’, to help you fight human factors’ distractions which are the origin of most accidents. 
• The Safety Rescue card reminds you of the most important things to do in the event of an avalanche accident. 
• The Ortovox Academy book provides a visual training guide for avalanche safety and rescue
