Skills Development

How to build an emergency evacuation transport toboggan out of skis (quickly).
Crevasse rescue.
Avalanche beacon search.
Snow-cave building.
Belays and anchors.
Gear repair.
Navigation.
Terrain selection.
Self-arrest


I have lots to learn. Nothing beats real life experience, but time spent practicing skills in a hypothetical setting can be a valuable frame of reference if ever the proverbial "shit hits the fan." If anyone out there wants to join me in some study sessions, give me a shout.
