Introduction to Freeride and snowboards off piste

Freeride is not only synonymous of ‘freedom on skis’ but also of caution, an indispensable prerequisite for off piste skiing. Our experience as alpine Guides has brought us to the conclusion that taking our clients off piste is no longer suffi cient, and that we now, more than ever, have the duty to share our experience with them. This is why we have chosen to offer a 3 day course for those who want to try skiing off piste for the fi rst time, as well as one day itineraries aimed at those who are already profi cient skiers.

What is taught:

• Practical instruction in the use of ARVA (device for fi nding people under avalanches) and emergency procedures in case of an avalanche
• Theoretical instruction in snow study with practical demonstrations
• Instruction in ski/snowboarding techniques with the expertise of a ski/snowboard instructor.

Programme:
1st day: Freeriding Day. Instruction in the use of technical equipment (shovel, probe, A.R.T.V.A.)
2nd day: Descents from Testa dell’Arp, perfecting techniques under the expertise of a ski/snowboard instructor.
3rd day: Descent on the Toula Glacier and Pavillon woods, concentrating on fi rst aid equipment, snow knowledge and fi nal test on the use of A.R.T.V.A.
