We respond to your questions
Is the security pack relevant to snowshoeing?
The security pack has been adapted to all practices including snowshoe walking.
I don't have the security material, do I need buy it?
esf will make sure we have everything you need available. You only need to make the most of the advice given by the instructor.
Why this type of programme?
Because esf aspires to have a mountain where everyone can feel completely at ease in any snowsport. But, the mountain can be risky and you need to know how to navigate it safely.
I have an avalanche detector but I don't know how to use it, shall I bring it along to the security pack training?
The safety pack is designed to empower each skier to know how to use the essential off-piste equipment, i.e. avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe. The instructor will teach you the best practices, because in a group you have to be able to rely on each other!
