BASP Avalanche Awareness course
Basp are running it's first Avalanche awareness course for members on 12-13th March at Glencoe Ski Centre. The course is designed to meet the competencies of ski resort patrollers in Scotland, and provide members with the information they require to ski off piste safely with friends. All the places have now been taken on this course so any other members who are interested should contact the office to show their interest in the next course.
A very interesting article by Henry Schniewind who runs Henry's Avalanche Talks about how to avoid avalanches is a good start and worth reading. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/snowandski/6980399/Ski-safety-how-to-avoid-avalanches.html
