The Arva Snow Safety Progam has the motto "Don't use our products!" meaning: Use our products, but avoid getting caught in an avalanche and having to pull the airbag or search with the avalanche transceiver. The translation from French is not only a little clumsy here, but the message to avoid avalanches is of course important and correct. You should be familiar with your own emergency equipment and practice with it, but above all you should avoid emergencies by careful tour planning, route selection and, in case of doubt, defensive decisions in the terrain. In the words of Arva: We are convinced that the best safety equipment is to have the right tools to assess the risk in order to prevent an accident.

Review of the basics with Arva
These and other colleagues accompany us as we learn.
Arva
PowderGuide partner company Arva presents a modular online tool to brush up on some avalanche basics. No online offer can replace courses in the snow, but if someone wants to read up a bit, this program developed in cooperation with the French avalanche research institute ANENA (Association Nationale pour l'Étude de la Neige et des Avalanches) is a good idea.

The online course consists of three chapters, each with content that can be read and viewed, as well as a short quiz in which the content is tested. The chapter "In the field: Global knowledge" follows a kind of 3x3 filter scheme with explanations of tour planning at home and reassessment of the conditions, route, group, etc. in the field. Chapter 2 deals with human factors and is fortunately relatively detailed for a rather basic course. The final chapter deals with rescue in an emergency, from choosing a suitable avalanche transceiver and handling it to shoveling and helicopter instruction.
Conclusion: Nice little tool as a refresher, you can definitely click through it. Very nice graphics!
