... Shovel and probe. And spending ages deciding if a slope is safe to ski?
(never mind all the avalanche safety courses, airbags, avalungs etc.)
I think I may have figured out the answer:
1) Ensure you don't value your life
2) Take no one off piste with you, thereby thereby negating the need for a bleep, shovel and probe
3)At the top of a pitch, simply ask yourself two questions
. a) does this route look like it will be fun?
. b) is there anyone below me in the path of a possible avalanche?
If the answers are yes and no respectively, then get on with the skiing!

tomow92, if you are in a group then nominate one person to be the expert and follow his advice blindly. If he deides not to do the slope then nominate someone else.

I know an instructor who was buried in his full kit Ski Boots on and his Skis placed in the coffin with him. Going in style

Steilhang,
Also make sure to pressure the guy who doesn't want to ski the slope into doing it first. Calling them names helps.

You know it makes sense.

Did he have to pay an extra surcharge for the skis as you do with Ryanair?
