LectureTip | SLF AvaLounge 14.3. 7 pm

No risk, no fun?

by PowderGuide • 03/13/2023

The SLF avalanche warning service regularly explains various aspects of avalanche prevention in the "AvaLounge". Another exciting livestream will take place tomorrow (14 March). Topic: No risk, no fun - is there anything to it?

What exactly does "risk" actually mean during ski tours and when freeriding? How can you reduce it? And is it really no fun without risk? SLF avalanche warning experts Beni, Kurt and Jürg will be discussing this tomorrow in the AvaLounge livestream.

In the "AvaLounge", SLF avalanche warning experts discuss various avalanche topics at irregular intervals. Questions from the public are also answered in the chat, giving you the opportunity to exchange ideas directly with the experts. Here are the previous AvaLounge talks to look up.

If you don't have any plans for tomorrow (Tuesday, 14 March), you're sure to find an exciting evening programme here!

When? 7 pm, 14 March 2023

Where? Livestream on Youtube!

As every year, the SLF Winter Report provides a comprehensive review of the past snow and avalanche season in the Swiss Alps.

Avalanche accidents in the 21/22 season are listed in tabular form, and some selected accidents are analysed in more detail.
SLF: From 22/23 intermediate stages in the bulletin

Lea Hartl • 11/28/2022

What experienced skiers could more or less reliably glean from the text of the bulletin is now put into concrete figures. From this season onwards, the SLF will use three intermediate levels for the avalanche danger levels moderate, considerable, large and very large. For level 3, for example, a 3, 3= or 3+ is given in addition to the "whole" level (3, considerable). 3- is closer to 2, 3= is "neutral" and 3+ is closer to 4.
