Today was our first official day back at work. We have an extensive winter program which requires us to operate a wide rangeing outdoor education program, piste skiing, off piste skiing, cross country skiing, ski mountaineering. Part of the preparation for this is avalanche training we did this today around the Villars resort. Steve Jones (Mountain Guide) & Ivor Ligitwood ( Aiglon College) provided an most excellent, informative, structured and practical morning. Thanks Guys
We looked at moveing across terrain off piste, transceiver protocols, group managemant, digging systems ( see the video clip of the convayer system) for the most effective location and evacuation of a person unfortunate to get caught in an avalanche.
There is plenty of evidence of full depth avalanches that have recently occured........................ enough said.
