Typical hazards & measures

  • AvalanchesProvide avalanche awareness training, including recognizing warning signs and understanding terrain risks.

Emphasize that they should only venture into avalanche-prone areas with proper training and experienced guides.
  • OverexertionPromote the importance of pacing oneself and recognizing signs of fatigue. Schedule regular breaks during lessons. Encourage proper hydration and nutrition. Teach energy-conserving techniques and proper breathing. Adjust lesson intensity based on the participant's fitness level.
  • Variable snow conditionsEducate participants on how different snow conditions affect riding, including powder, slush, and crud. Teach adaptive techniques for each condition. Encourage constant observation of the terrain ahead. Incorporate practice sessions in varied conditions to build adaptability.
  • Inadequate safety briefingConduct a thorough safety briefing at the start of each session, covering potential hazards, emergency procedures, and expected behaviors. Encourage questions to ensure understanding. Reinforce key safety points throughout the lesson.
  • Collisions at trail intersectionsTeach participants to slow down and look both ways when approaching intersections. Instruct on the right-of-way rules and how to yield appropriately. Encourage announcing presence when necessary. Practice navigating intersections during lessons.
