Before your tour

An official route is not a secured ski run. Check the weather, avalanche forecast, snow conditions and restrictions before setting out. Choose a tour that matches your skills and equipment. Avalanche terrain requires appropriate safety equipment and the knowledge to use it. Follow national park and ski area rules. An unavailable avalanche bulletin does not mean conditions are safe.
