When it comes to experienced skiers, off-piste skiing offers some of the most memorable experiences on snow. At some point, it is likely that the majority of advanced skiers begin to feel limited by the runs offered by standard slopes and feel the need for the exhilaration of untouched powder as well as the solitude of the mountains and a feeling of self-reliance and achievement.

 Make sure your insurance policy includes off-piste skiing.

 Never ski off-piste alone. Hiring an eperienced guide is the best choice.

 Always undertake off-piste with caution and respect for the mountains and wear the correct equipment including a avalanche transciever.

 Practice using your avalanche transciever.
