Before coronavirus, the monthly "SchneeSemmelnare" events organized by the Austrian Society for Snow and Avalanches (ÖGSL) were small lunchtime events in a seminar room in Innsbruck, usually with speakers from Tyrol. Since the switch to a digital format due to the pandemic, it has been possible to watch from anywhere and the speakers have also become more international: Manuel Genswein recently gave an update on companion rescue.

We're off, at least all of us from PowderGuide. The reason: we're meeting up in the Jamtal valley in Tyrol for the almost traditional PG end-of-season meeting. On board will be the PG editorial team, most of the Conditions reporters and many other PG friends, supporters and the world's leading avalanche rescue expert Manuel Genswein.
