Fermeture des stations de ski : comment passer au ski de randonnée sans risque

The closure of ski resorts has led to a boom in ski touring. The slopes and lifts are closed, but to embark on this sport that allows for freedom of movement in the mountains, training is essential to avoid mountain hazards. We attended a MAOS (Mountain Rescue and Safety Operations) course organized by Salomon with guide MicheLa. Our program covered identifying avalanche-prone slopes, hidden holes in the snowpack, and even how to effectively organize a rescue operation when an avalanche occurs. But before venturing out on a ski tour, you also need to know... how to put on your skis. Adjusting your bindings and properly attaching your climbing skins are not things you can just wing, either.
