Archived trip from old website run by sebastianwende

A chat about snow safety. Australia's wet snow pack generally means that avalanche risk is generally low, but knowing about avalanche formation, risk mitigation and rescue could still save your life. We will have a chat about avalanche formation and the steps you can take to reduce the risk of being caught in an avalanche. We will then discuss the theory of efficient avalanche companion rescue. I am not an avalanche professional so this chat should not serve as a substitute for proper training from a professional. I'll organise a room in the Arndt building
