KEY POINTS IN AVALANCHE AWARENESS

 Understand what causes avalanches, and learn to recognise, test and record these causes.

 Understand weather and find out about past, present and future conditions that have and are likely to influence snow stability. Snowfall, wind and temperature all influence avalanche risk.

 Appreciate the significance of slope angle and aspect to avalanche risk. Slopes between 25° and 40° are perfect for skiing on, but they also present the greatest risk.

 Be observant. Conditions on tour change fast not only from day to day but from one slope to another and even on the same slope. Look for indicators of instability.

 Ensure you are properly equipped and clothed, and that equipment is all in good working order.

 Ensure you are prepared for emergencies and have a fast and efficient procedure in place to deal with them.
