But where can I find that stuff ? Is it safe ? What about avalanches ?
In order to assess avalanche risk one has to be on the mountain every day
and overlook the developent of the snow pack with the canging weather conditions
during the entire winter season.

One good argument to hire a qualified Mountain guide for your next backcountry session.

The best runs are hidden - all the runs that are visible from the lifts are tracked quickly.
especially if the last snowfall is more than a week ago.
You might think - what a shame - everytime I´m on a skiing holiday there is no powder left.
There is still powder but on the runs that are not easily found.

Next good argument to hire a guide.
