The basic rules of safe programming during hikes and its implementation

What to do at home or cottage
- provide a potential route, or route
- the projected route to find the steepest place (care map may not equal reality!!!, very short steep contours according výšvihy do not recognize)
- determine the exposure of the slopes, where we will move
- determine the current status announced by the avalanches in the area
- prepare a schedule, consider group size and ability of its members
- assess the factors identified by some of the basic decision-making strategies STOP OR GO, 3x 3 Cheerful, Reduction Method,

Upon arrival at the point of the tour - zonal filter
- weather forecasts and current conditions
- Preparedness Group
- test beacons
- re-evaluate the factors underlying the current state of the STOP OR GO, LEVEL TEST
- suitable for reaching the first place (disposition and inclination of the slope) check the history of snow layer, or to test a sliding block, Norwegian or probe


Powder is a wonderful thing and everyone is looking forward to it, but if we know the slope is safe?

The tour
- constantly monitor the current conditions
- I know, where I
- I know their condition compared with the planned timetable
- Congress equal to the output
- in case of change of slope exposure, again find out the status of snow layer
- from the climb gradient 30 degrees always spaced at least. 15 m
- pace always follow the weakest member of the group
- if in doubt, do I always prefer to hike on the replacement target, or abandon it
- Congress always spaced at approximately 50 m, the slope 35 degrees each time individually
- Congress always vote with respect to the development of weather, visibility and snow conditions
- In case of any doubt I choose exit along the track output


Small amounts of snow does not mean, that the terrain is cool, even if we go along the ridge, we observe spacing, or the conversation can move rather quickly…
