Skitouring-Instructor Education

Skitouring, guiding a group, avalanche safety, building a bivy, Rutschblocktest, Schaufeltest, Orienteering, working with a compass, etc… all parts of the second week of my skitouring-instructor education… 15 men, one woman – that’s me 😉

We were based in Hintermoos/Salzburg and had probably one of the worst weeks in terms of snow condtions: rain, “Bruchharsch”, very warm temperatures but as it was an education week, no prob 🙂 You have to deal with the conditions anyway… And take it the way it is…

Highlight of the week was hiking the Schwalbenwand 2011 m on a beautiful day, skiing down 12oo altitude meters in finest “Bruchharsch” 😉 hahaaha…

All in all it was a great, informative week, with lots of input from our mountainguide Stefan 🙂 Thxxx Stefan 🙂
