The leaflet contains the latest avalanche information in a compact format on a single sheet and is based on the latest research and practice. On the one hand, the flyer serves as a basis for avalanche training, from tour planning to what to do after an avalanche. On the other hand, it provides a guide for assessing the avalanche risk and making decisions - be it when choosing a tour, in the terrain on site or on a single slope - taking into account the factors of terrain, conditions and people. The leaflet is primarily aimed at ski tourers and freeriders who already have a basic knowledge of avalanche awareness.

New features
The following sections of the information sheet have been expanded and redesigned in the new edition.
Expanded section on the "human factor"
Interlinked presentation of the 4 typical avalanche problems with explanations for assessing the snowpack and characterizing a favourable situation
Different processes of avalanche formation explained simply, with a focus on the slab avalanche
Aid for decision-making on individual slopes
Stephan Harvey from the SLF, project manager of the new leaflet summarizes: "The leaflet is an ideal cheat sheet for on the go! It should be noted that the leaflet is not self-explanatory, but requires certain knowledge. The content should therefore preferably be learned in an avalanche course and combined with other teaching materials." The new leaflet is compatible with current specialist literature and all topics can be studied in greater depth with www.whiterisk.ch.
The free leaflet can be ordered from the SLF or downloaded as a pdf from the SLF website .

SLF presents group checklist
PowderGuide • 03/20/2016
For most freeriders and ski tourers, it is a matter of course to think about questions like: What does the situation report say? How is the weather, how is the snow? Was it windy, is there fresh drift snow? Is the snowpack structure favorable? We know that we have to be aware of our surroundings if we want to move safely in avalanche terrain. However, we often forget to consider ourselves and our behavior in the group. The SLF has developed a checklist to help prevent problems with group dynamics. -
