As the weather was unfortunately very uncomfortable on the day of our event, we started with the theory in the seminar room of the Hotel Hubertus with the mountain guide Miri in a group of approx. 10 people. Miri explained the different snow problems and which aspects are important for tour planning in the terrain.
The "mountain playground" often presents us with major challenges. Miri used examples and personal experience to explain to us how to make the right decisions and act efficiently in critical situations. Together as a group, we planned a ski tour in theory and discussed different ascent and descent options, as these are often misjudged by snow sports enthusiasts. Which websites can be used as preparation for a day in the snow and how the terrain can be assessed more safely were examined and discussed in detail in the theory session. For participants without equipment, avalanche equipment was then lent out free of charge and the group went into the terrain to apply the theory directly.
