Poster: A snowHead
|
Just a reminder about these popular and well received talks:
There is a new venue in Méribel every Monday during the season at 18h00 in Pizza Express which is above Dick’s T-Bar. This is the classic talk.
Val d’Isère : Introduction Talks Tuesday at 18.00 (entry €5 but it is also happy hour) and In-Depth Talks (free entry if you came on Tuesday) will be on Thursday at 18.00 @ Dick’s Tea Bar. The Talks last just under 90 minutes including a break in the middle including a question and answer session at the end. See http://www.henrysavalanchetalk.com/ for more information about beeper training and new talks in Ste Foy and Tignes (TBA).
If you are in Val on Thursday 12th January then I should be there (snow and ice permitting) doing a talk on French Avalanche Accidents.

Is Henry the bloke who does a "shock and awe" type of safety talk?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

He has a video which maybe calleda bit "shock and awe" but his talk is very informative and reasoned. I know a number of SH's have had good things to say about the talks.
The Ste Foy talks are going ahead from this Wednesday if you are there. From 6pm sharp in the Salle Hors Sac (venue may change later in the season) which is down near the lift pass office.

I have been to several of Henry's talks. The introductory talks change from year to year and are, I believe, worth attending more than once to remind me of the things I should consider when skiing off piste. The in depth talks are worth attending because they explain the current conditions in the report and the implication of that on the future build up of the snow pack. The in depth talks also have themes, like davidof's talk, or perhaps safety equipment (ABS bags, Avalungs, Reccos etc), and other good topics. One of the highlights of the Val d'Isere talks are the anecdotes from Fab. He is one of Val's pisteurs and is licenced to carry and use explosives around the mountains.
davidof, sorry to say that I missed your talk last year and will again this week. Hopefully another time.
For anyone going to Val d'Isere or Meribel a visit to Henry's Avalance Talks only takes a couple of hours of your non-skiing time and it may provide you that snippet of information that prevents a tragedy.
