Avalanche Risk Assessment Guides - Downloadable

The Swiss Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) has made available a couple of excellent introductions to avalanche risk assessment.

You can download Avalanche danger – how to better assess the risks (in PDF form) by clicking the image :-



Additional leaflets are available from The SLF here.

If you ever dabble in the off-piste and are not familiar with avalanche risk assessment you really should get reading... it could save your life!

Thanks to snowhead roga for pointing those up.

The SLF documents are excellent and I strongly recommend people to have a look at them. I also thought I'd let you know that I'm currently developing a Resources section on my own website to help share information with people that might help them.

Safe skiing folks...
