 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just a quick message to let you know that following on from the success of last season's lectures there will again be a FREE Avalanche Awareness lecture in Chamonix every week this winter season.
The lectures are being held upstairs at La Terrasse bar in the centre of Chamonix. They will be at 18.15 every Monday from 10 Dec 2012 to 11 Mar 2013. NB: Christmas and New Year week the lectures will be on a Sunday night instead.
Lectures last around 45 minutes, and will be delivered by qualified Mountain Guides resident in Chamonix. The lectures cover a variety of topics, including avalanche avoidance and rescue techniques.
Lectures are provided courtesy of www.avalancheacademy.com.
There is no charge for attending, so please show your support for La Terrase by getting there early and getting a drink at the bar.
Have a safe season.....

I attended one of these last year. It was very useful, if you get a chance try and get to one.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

What a brilliant idea, pity I'm not going anywhere near Chamonix.

Been to one of these lectures for the last two winters. Even if you think you know everything it is definitely worth going along.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

MrsFS did one of Avalanche Academy's courses last year. She had a great time and learnt lots. As an added bonus, she was "no trouble" when she came home as she was knackered!

Would love this. If they could be recorded and put up somewhere online I'd pay to view them?

Hi there
It's great to see that people are so positive about these presentations. The Morzine lecture was so well attended we couldn't actually fit any more people in the room - hence we may do another one there in the New Year. Details TBC.
However, we are holding one in Verbier next week. Wednesday night (19 Dec 2012), 7pm, at the Pub Mont Fort near the Medran lift. Hope to see you all there.

Hi, these sound great. I've been looking everywhere for avalanche training in Verbier.
I'm only there 1 week this year, sadly (19-25 Feb) but dead keen to attend a presentation like this, or indeed a whole-day training. Any idea if anything's available round that time?
TIA
