The Do’s for a Safe Backcountry Skiing Trip

Backcountry skiing with excitement and adventure brings danger as well. It is risky when you opt for any backcountry skiing trip and therefore it is important to take care of certain things to ensure safety and security of your life.

Here is a list of things that you should do and look after while you are out on a Backcountry skiing trips:

·         Take the help of a mountaineering guide and do not rely on a person who has no experience in skiing. It is also important that you start your journey with a comfortable backcountry pack, big enough to hold camera, snacks or other small items, for a comfortable journey. 

·         Tool kit and first aid kit are other important things you should take along. You must be ready with a mountaineering first aid kit and a tool kit with all spare parts to fix any problem on your poles or skis.

·         While skiing, if anyone in a group feels unsafe or tired, then the group should reassess.

·         You must wear big goggles that allow lot of space between your face and the. These goggles work far better than the stylish ones and keep the warmth from the face from fogging up the goggles.

·         If in case you are lost while skiing, it is better to mark your spot and stay there rather then moving around because that makes it easier for a rescue to find you and you can also save energy.

A number of mountaineering schools in Canada today offer you skiing trips along with other beneficial courses like AST Courses in Canmore, ice climbing and rock climbing courses. Thereby, taking care of the above given steps, under the supervision of a professional guide, you can enjoy your adventurous trip to the fullest.
