Avalanche Awareness Talks

“I only ski at the edge of the pistes”.

This is a common response. Here’s a story.

My son was on a chairlift at La Plagne and saw a group of ski lift operators and the ski patrol “probing” an avalanche tip about 50 – 100m from the piste.  It turned out they were probing for a father and son who had skied at the edge of the piste. They weren’t using avalanche transceivers. It took about 40 minutes to locate them and then dig them out. The son died.

If you, your group of friends or family would like a multimedia talk on how to reduce the risk of becoming a statistic this winter please contact me. It may save a life.
