The risks of this trip include, but are not limited to:
· Avalanche
·
"Avalanches
can occur in the terrain in which we operate and can be caused by natural
forces, or by people travelling through the terrain (e.g. skiing/snowboarding).
What are the risks? Anyone caught in an avalanche is at risk of personal
injury, death, and/or property damage or loss."
·

Trees, tree wells, forest deadfall,
and tree stumps

·
Communication, rescue and medical
treatment
·
Communication can be difficult and
in the event of an accident rescue and treatment may not be available
·
Adverse weather may also delay the
arrival of treatment and transport out of the field
·
If an Injury occurs in challenging
terrain movement to an evacuation point may be slow
·
Boots and binding systems
·
Even when set up correctly, a ski
binding might not release during every fall or may release unexpectedly. The
ski boot/binding system is no guarantee that the skier will not be
injured. Non-DIN-certified bindings,
such as pin/tech bindings, present a higher risk of pre-release and/or injury
as they are not designed to the same safety standards as a DIN-certified alpine
binding.
·
Unlike alpine ski boot/binding
systems, snowboard and some telemark boot/binding systems are not designed or
intended to release and will not release under normal circumstances. Using such a system increases the risk of
injury and/or death when caught in an avalanche.
