the pists were no challenge no more, so we were looking for some off pist action


Joiiiiiiiiiiii used his massive kettcar experience and smoothed down like a pro ;-)

avalanche awareness training

at a bad weather day I met up with some of my friends to train how to handle our avalanche transceivers, how to probe and how to dig.
This is really important, because there is nothing worst than to ride with someone who has no clue of avalanches and rescue plans. So its much more confident to ride with your friends who know what to do and are able to safe your life!!!


at the beginning we had to create a training field which is stomped and full of tracks...


to probe different objects could help you to feel more confident in a serious situation!


sharing and discussing different experiences is very important

so if you would like to see more impressions of this day, pease visit max zipsers blog
