- Lower risk
- Avoid avi terrain
- safety gear
- what to consider
- using a guide
Reducing risk
- total avoidance (dont go backcountry at all)
- avoidance lite (avoid all avalanche terrain)
- recognising risk, accepting it, minimizing exposure
- use bulletin
avoidance
- stay in bounds/on piste
- use low angle slopes
- steep: 30-45 degrees
minimize exposure to risks
- know if you are in avalanche terrain
- maps, guidbooks, photos
- clinometers
- quality level 1 course
Use the bulletin forecast
- low
- moderate : natural avalanches not likely, man made avalanches possible if you ski in the wrong spot
- considerable: if you ski in the wrong spot, human triggered avalances are likely
no overhead hazard: not below a large face or something
avalanche problem:
- persistent weak layer
- wind drifted snow
whoomps under skis: collapsing snow, avalanches likely
