Your guide will meet you at your chosen start time (8 am recommended) at the agreed upon location, usually the trail head. We will start by discussing the avalanche conditions and weather forecasts and go over the tour plan for the day. We will also check that everyone has the required gear, and that it is working and fitting properly. Next, we may go through a brief refresher on avalanche safety and companion rescue if necessary. Once everyone is synced up, we will be of to explore the mountains and find the best snow. Along the way your guide will continue the discussion on avalanche safety and good decision making.
