Weather

I keep a close eye on the weather forecast and enquire about the stability of the snow covering and the risk of avalanches on a regular basis.

I avoid leaving the marked runs alone, I leave my itinerary with somebody I know, I always have the necessary equipment and I ask mountain professionals (guides, ski patrol, ski instructors) for advice.

I am constantly learning about the mountains. I take part in “avalanch camps”, I research my work fields in the summer and I respect the animals and plants in mountainous areas.
