Safety in a snowy environment
Learn to manage the risk that any discipline on the snow entails
Snow is a wonderful, almost magical element, but it is necessary to know it in-depth, to know its metamorphoses, to understand what happens to the mantle once it is on the ground and to carefully evaluate the resulting risks to reduce them.
Safety in a snowy environment
Learn to manage the risk that any discipline on the snow entails
Snow is a wonderful, almost magical element, but it is necessary to know it in-depth, to know its metamorphoses, to understand what happens to the mantle once it is on the ground and to carefully evaluate the resulting risks to reduce them.
Why participate
- Because off-piste skiing, ski mountaineering require specific skills on risk identification, assessment, and management.
- Because it is necessary to know how to evaluate but also to intervene in the event of problems in the shortest possible time and a conscious manner
- Because you have no choice, it’s like riding a bike without knowing how to inflate the tires on your bike, it’s impossible and it’s better to don’t
- Because the world of awareness, useful attitudes and responsibility towards yourself, your partner and yourself with you will open up
- Because it is necessary to understand that outdoor activities, in particular, those on snow-covered grounds, offer little chance of getting away unless they are properly able to handle the situation.
