Glacier safety & avalanche awareness in Chamonix with a mountain guide

Avalanche and Freeride - Risk Management in off piste 

I'm instructor for the french IMGA/UIAGM guides,. This 4 days course "Avalanche Awarness" is based on the guide course. It is dedicated to teach you the off piste safety basics rules. Glacier safety - crossing  and skiing, avalanche rescue tips : how to react but mostly how to avoid such situations !!. You'll learn all of that while skiing on some of the most prestigious ski itineraries : valley blanche, Grand Montets, Thoule...
Daily : we have some theory during the morning (snow analysis, avalanche behaviour...) and some practice during afternoons (ski, but also avalanche training , group tactics,transceivers training,steep skiing...)
