| Off piste skiing
is always a pleasure, but be careful, skiing or snowboarding
away from the marked slopes means higher risks including avalanches
and accidents.
Before setting off on your off-piste advenure, you
must (even if you are a really good skier) consult the snow-weather
bulletins. Never go off-piste alone, always take an ARVA transceiver
with you and tell somebody where you are going.
It's always better to go with a ski instructor if possible.
