Snow is a form of frozen water. It consists of many small ice crystals that form into snowflakes.

If you are caught in an avalanche, you are a passenger and your life is in potential danger. Independent rescue and rescue attempts may be successful, but in most cases you will be dependent on the help of others.
More than half of all people involved in avalanche incidents suffer no or only minor injuries. Around 32 percent of the people involved suffer serious injuries, while the fatality rate of people caught (regardless of burial depth) is around 13 percent.
An avalanche bulletin is a publication by the avalanche warning services that contains detailed information on the current state of the snow cover snowpack, its development for the next day and the resulting avalanche danger.

In order to be safe in the mountains, a sound knowledge of the weather and the most common terms in the weather forecast are essential.
Humans have been exposed to the danger of avalanches ever since the Alpine habitat was colonized. Avalanches are gravity-driven mass movements that pose a potential danger as a result of meteorological conditions.
Freeriders should be aware of whether and what dangers are or could be present when skiing in the open ski area and how to manage their personal risk when freeriding.
This document deals with where the secured ski area ends and the unsecured, i.e. free ski area begins.
Snow is an exciting and unique material and we want children and young people to learn more about it and share their fascination with us.
In order to be able to help in a worst-case scenario – i.e. an avalanche accident with buried and/or injured people – it is important to gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
This teaching document contains the basics on the subject of avalanches. It is a compilation of knowledge to arouse fascination and interest in children and young people for an important topic in the mountains.

Orientation is the ability to find your way around the terrain. This means that you know both where you are and where you need to go.
Emergencies and accidents rarely happen out of the blue without any warning. Of course, sometimes you can be unlucky and simply be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Helicopters are often the means of rescue of choice in the Alpine region – if they are available and the external conditions (weather conditions, daylight, etc.) permit their use.
When deciding whether a freeride run is possible or not, a basic understanding of what makes a descent dangerous is crucial.
Orientation problems due to poor visibility, the failure of an important piece of equipment during a variant descent in a remote area or an injury: sometimes situations arise in which you can no longer make it back to the valley in time or under your own steam. If there are no flying conditions, you will have to spend the time until the terrestrial rescue services arrive – or possibly the whole night – in the terrain. A bivouac sack protects you from cooling down for a short time and keeps out the wind, while a snow cave offers more protection from the elements. The so-called “Panzerknacker Igloo” has proven its worth.
Standard measures, i.e. generally valid, effective and recognized recommendations for action to avoid risks, are always (!) applied – regardless of the type of group, the terrain or the current conditions.
Most rescue blankets have a silver and a gold side. A common misconception is that one of these sides is supposed to keep you warm and the other cool. Unfortunately, this information is also printed on the packaging of many rescue blankets.
“Do you think I need a new avalanche transceiver?” is a question often asked by freeriders and course participants. Those who ask this question usually know themselves that the answer is “Yes!”. Unfortunately, avalanche accidents often reveal that the avalanche transceiver they were carrying was no longer fully functional and should no longer have been used.
