The avalanche update usually takes place on several evenings as a lecture in front of an audience. Since this was not possible last winter due to the pandemic, the digital format was very well received and the corona situation is also complicated this year, there will be a livestream again in 2021. In addition, lecture evenings are currently planned in various Austrian cities from mid-December (presumed end of the lockdown in Austria).
In two and a half exciting hours, Larcher will highlight selected avalanche events from last winter and help the audience to sharpen their awareness of the hazard patterns and internalize basic safety precautions. The second part of the lecture offers plenty of practical knowledge for ski tourers: How does the emergency equipment work, how does the avalanche transceiver check work, how do you search efficiently for buried victims and where can you find the right courses to practise for an avalanche emergency?
Further information and the link to the stream can be found at ÖAV.
