Steep couloir skiing and riding are increasingly popular within the backcountry skiing community - also in Tromsø. Traditionally the domain of a handful of extreme athletes or winter climbers, steep terrain is becoming more accessible through improvements in ski equipment and availability of route information via the internet, and we see somewhat a normalization of steep skiing and couloir skiing.
Mike Austin from the Avalanche Geeks - https://avalanchegeeks.com/ - joins us to speak on this matter. He is a ski guide, educator, consultant of forecast and rescue. He has first descents in Pakistan and long affiliation with skiing steep - all over the world. He will give insights and thoughts of what to consider before and when venturing towards the steeps.
Free event, but somewhat limited seats. First come, first serve.
