Safety

The sun is shining in the sky, the slope is covered with fresh snow and the ski run is still completely untouched. It is hard to resist skiing down the mountain with high anticipation. And yet this is exactly where the risk is the highest. Skills in searching for buried victims and well-functioning equipment are a must if you want to move freely in the area.

The following safety instructions are vital before and after every freeride tour:

„Buddy system“! That is to never enter the area on your own.
Have you checked the avalanche report? Did you understand it?
Weather forecast OK? If necessary, talk to locals.
Equipment complete? This includes an avalanche transceiver, a shovel, a probe and a mobile phone.
Have you done the avalanche transceiver check? Working with the avalanche transceiver, the probe and the shovel should be practised regularly.
Does the group fit my abilities? Or am I forced to carry out dangerous activities?
Are other skiers using the same route as me? Always keep an eye on them.
If you'd like to explore unknown territories, better book an experienced guide.
Keep distance! Start off separately, even on seemingly safe slopes.
If you are not sure (or in bad weather and poor visibility): It is better to avoid unsafe runs.
