Snow Dump

Title – Snow Dump
Date – February 2000
Location - Val D’Isere - France

When in the mountains of Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa or even Australia, you should be prepared for weather in the extreme.

Waking up when on a skiing trip to find a new dump of snow can be the most exciting feeling, as the powder beckons for the more experienced skier.

When travelling in the mountains the weather can change in a minute, with snow falling at any time of year, turning comfortable conditions into extremely dangerous ones. Those who go unprepared put themselves in serious danger.

Beyond The Blue run Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop for those undertaking independent travel. During the course we consider the issues of preparation and planning as well as Travel Equipment for travel to all parts of the world and to all environments.
