Skiing Off Piste with Henry & Tignes Spirit!

3 Days & 1 Day programmes in the Espace Killy, France 

 

Includes:

Henry’s Avalanche Talk - either a live version of the talk or an on-line version with Premium Membership of the Henry’s Avalanche Talk (HAT) website

● HAT Quick Reference Card – a memory aide for risk management & decision making – plus coaching on how to use it

● Avalanche Search & Rescue crisis management exercise using avalanche transceivers

● Premium membership of www.henrysavalanchetalk.com, which gives access to the Introduction Talk that you will have seen, as well as in-depth talks and forums for you to further your knowledge, ask more questions, etc

● HAT Certificate of Off-Piste Excellence (COPE), which attests to participation on a course that provides full basic knowledge of off-piste risk management

● Photos, hopefully a bit of video, and a fun time!

 

 

The one day course concentrates on getting through all the important safety/risk management points, taking the ‘Henry’s Avalanche Talk’ onto the mountain and looking at key points from the talk e.g. Islands of safety, safe route selection etc., in a practical way. We take the talk on to the snow and get some great skiing time too.

The 3 day course includes all these safety/risk management points, but you can also take advantage of a lot more off-piste guiding, including some tuition on off-piste technique (especially good for introductory groups). It allows that bit more time to enjoy your surroundings, experience more diverse terrain (for learning and for fun), and more time to consolidate your off-piste knowledge. In summary, it is about having fun and being safe off-piste.

 

Aside from lots of skiing, we go over the main themes of the HAT talk, which are the answers to the question: “Is it Safe out there?”The answer is that it depends on:

1. Where you go and when (decision making)

2. How you go down/up (risk management)

3. Being prepared (managing a rescue)
