Helmets
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 28 Replies
Can't believe previous comment. i Know it's stupid but I don't wear a helmet??? Can't there be any brains in there to damage? My advice... I know nothing. Get to a shop and get something comfortable and properly fitted. No-one looks at anything on the slopes but how you ski/board so it doesn't matter what you look like. I got mine after a stupid fall on a blue run and it improved my skiing because i felt more confident and safer in one. It's white and so are my goggles so i look like a storm trooper, but I don't care.
Spring avalanche risk
Started by User in Avalanche Safety, 5 Replies
I have V. little understanding of avalanche risk whatsoever. I ski verbier. We've had plenty of fresh snow. I hear terms like poorly bonded etc. Can anyone tell me in general terms what the avalanche risk is on itinery runs. i.e. chassoure, gentianes and valon d'arby, particularly in spring. I don't have any avalanche equipment and avoid vallon d'arby because I've heard it's unsafe. I know the risk varies from day to day but does anyone know specifically know about these runs?
Ski schools in Nendaz

Neige aventure are nice, cheerful guys. We've used them for years. Montagne magique I hear are good for more advanced privates. You can also make it to warren Smith in Verbier in time from Nendaz which is also good for more advanced. Hope this reply is not too late!
