AVALANCHE SAFETY COURSE
The avalanche safety training course is intended for those who go off-piste skiing/snowboarding touring or hiking.
During the course we will tackle the following topics:
What is an avalanche and what triggers it?
How to read an avalanche forecast and implement it in your plan for the day?
How to plan a route that is safer even when avalanche conditions are present?
How to avoid avalanche terrain?
How to read the environment around you and what to pay attention to while in avalanche terrain?
What to do if an avalanche occurs?
How to use the essential avalanche equipment- transceiver, probe and shovel? How to organize an avalanche search and rescue?
You don’t need big mountains to learn these skills, all we need is some snow! This course is for you, if you want to feel safe and confident when visiting the big mountains.
The training will be conducted by Kristians Lunins - the only IML-qualified mountain guides in the Baltics. We have a certain amount of avalanche safety equipment but if you have your own equipment please bring it with!
