T.O. Staff - Off-Piste Training








February saw a whole season's worth of snow and weather conditions; from waist-deep 'pow-pow' to heavy sludge via a plethora of wind slabs, ice crusts, death cookies, sugar bases, chalk and LOTS of the good stuff.
To get a feel for all of the above a few of the Off-Piste team instructors from both Tignes & Val d'Isère laid on training sessions for the tour operator staff.
The aim of each session was to discover more of the mountain, raise safety and avalanche awareness, improve technique but most importantly ... having fun...!
More sessions soon....

The wall comes tumbling down.....




La Pente du Lavachet - Lavachet Wall
In the old Savoyarde dialect 'lavachet' means avalanche...!
