- 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
|
|

lots of different types of avalanche. loose vs slab, wet vs dry.
|
|
|
|
usually: strong snow over weak snow.
|
|
|
|
strong: often wind effect: ltighly bonded grains
|
|
weak: light snow with no wind and cold clear nights
|
|
|
|
important: slope angle |
