Avalanche Safety Schools

Education and Preparation are the Best Tools to Survive an Avalanche

— January 13, 2013 — Lifestyle
There are few extreme activities more thrilling than skiing off the beaten path in the mountainous back country of North America, and this is where avalanche safety schools can save lives.

In these desolate places, one can never know if a deadly avalanche is around the corner. There’s no better way to survive one of nature’s most awe-inspiring displays by being prepared and educated ahead of time. The courses are offered all over the United States and Canada, and offer exercises like timed searches for beacons, deep snow navigation, differentiating snow types and efficient searching methods. 

The high-end courses feature instruction from certified mountain guides and avalanche experts. These courses should be essential for anyone who wants to ski and explore the slickest, steepest and snowiest peaks in the world.
Trend Themes
1. Avalanche Safety Education - Opportunity to develop online courses or apps to offer avalanche safety education to people who are not able to attend in-person courses.
2. Virtual Avalanche Simulation - Potential for virtual reality platforms that simulate avalanche scenarios, offering realistic experience for training and education purposes.
3. Smart Avalanche Safety Gear - Opportunity to develop smart wearable devices that can detect and send signals when someone is buried under snow in an avalanche emergency.
Industry Implications
1. Ski and Snowboarding Industry - Ski and snowboarding resorts can consider offering discounts or packages for customers who attend or have completed avalanche safety courses.
2. Outdoor Education Industry - Outdoor education providers can incorporate avalanche safety training in their curriculum or design specialized courses for avalanche safety.
3. Technology Industry - Tech companies can develop innovative solutions such as apps and wearables to help skiers and snowboarders stay safe and enjoy their extreme sports.
