his site is dedicated to helping skiers, snowboarders and mountaineers develop the knowledge and skills needed to avoid accidents in the off-piste mountain environment.
The main part of the site is structured into five sections covering the main categories of risk: avalanche, falling on steep ground, cold injury, getting lost and crevasse fall. Each section explains the nature of the risk, tells you what gear you need, and shows you all the "tricks" for avoiding trouble and getting out of it. "Other stuff" covers the essentials of first aid, mountain fitness, and a bunch of useful stuff like check-lists and sources of further information. "Parting thought" summarises the overall principles that underpin a safe and enjoyable day out in the mountains.
We hope you enjoy our guide!
