PROGRAM
Day 1:
Content: Companion Rescue and Avalanche Knowledge Presentation
Depending on the snow conditions and the destination, we will meet at an individually agreed meeting point on the first day and travel together to the starting point. After a quick gear check and a few brief explanations, we will warm up with a short climb, after which we will begin the topic of companion rescue. On this day, we will primarily practice avalanche transceiver searches and probing, arriving at our accommodation in the afternoon. There, we will receive a presentation on avalanche knowledge and how to apply this knowledge to the terrain.
Day 2:
Content: Short Ski Tour and Practical Exercises
The next day, we will go on a short ski tour, stopping frequently along the way to assess how we can apply what we learned the previous day to the terrain and what decisions we need to make. Along the way, we will also dig a snow profile and examine the snowpack structure, as well as conduct an ECT. We will learn what important insights we can gain from this and where the limits of the informative value of snow profiles lie. We will learn about the track layout and the correct behavior when ascending and descending in the terrain.
Any changes to the program that may be necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, accommodation booking situation, etc.) will always be made in consultation with the participants.
