Off Piste Snow Report, Travel & Upcoming Events

In the video below, I give you a quick overview on:

. Current off piste snow conditions for the Northern French Alps and surrounding areas. We’ve received (and are continuing to receive) a LOT of fresh snow. The current avalanche risk is a 4 out of 5.

. Some travel news.

. Upcoming events: Essentials Talk – virtual talk – in two parts, on this coming Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The accident reduction framework featured in this talk is for everyone: from off-piste beginners to pros interested in a great client training tool and memory aid. The aim is to help you get the most from your time on the mountain. See this link for more info Essentials Talk 7 & 8 December 6 pm UK time, 7 pm CET.

________________________________

There’s a long list of evidence that shows how applying simple frameworks, checklists and memory aids reduce risk in ‘high consequence, low feedback’ risk contexts prevalent in: aviation, military, finance, health care, avalanche terrain etc.

See our HAT quick reference ‘Safety is Freedom Framework’ for accident reduction in avalanche terrain. The Framework is aimed at all levels of off-piste and touring: for beginners: a point of departure; for experts: a guide for further learning; for pros: it’s a great framework for client training and quick memory aid.

The Framework is best if accompanied by training such as HAT events and on-snow courses, but it’s also a useful companion for all training as it focuses on the basic key points that all avalanche training courses address – it helps you to keep focused on the essential accident reduction points.

For more information on upcoming HAT events (including the *ORTOVOX Off-piste awareness Tour) : webinars, online talks and other useful announcements, see our HAT Facebook page.
