Avalanche Safety | 4 Essential Tips for Staying Safe When Freeriding

In this video, we are going follow Liz our winter mountain guide on the mountain and learn about avalanche safety and four key areas where if you follow them you can reduce the amount of risk you take when freeriding. No matter what you do you will take some risk when you are going freeriding so it is important to learn as much as possible and try to use all the information you have to make choices. Please consider taking an avalanche safety course to better your knowledge!

"If your tummy says no, you don't go" Listening to your gut is the best way to stay out of danger. Great advice.

[@littlebear7523]

My dad works with rescue dogs, lots of people end up dead because they were reckless.... Its great that you spread some awereness

[@StompItTutorials]

Thank you Magnus!

[@emilborovik8014]

Please do more videos about free riding

[@StompItTutorials]

Working on it right now ;)

[@zVikingGamer]

You guys are just awesome! The tips are really good and your humour is on point!

[@jddusterhoff]

Love your videos Jens! Thank you to you and your crew! Keep them coming, so great! ⛷🎿🏂

[@565ChAr]

Awesome to see a video on freeriding! Love this channel and can tell *alot* of effort goes into each video, which makes them even better when I see that notification.

[@StompItTutorials]

Thank you for seeing the effort going into it.

[@Mashed_joetatoes]

awesome! I'd love to see more videos on freeriding and backcountry

[@nattygawd6588]

This was very helpful, thank you.

[@BroadSword398]

Love videos like this!

[@INXPhase]

the cornflakes effect. glorious hahah

[@rotbraun8530]

Nice Video. I know That i can Learn some.

[@colinwoodward5239]

Great Tutorials for not only beginners but for experienced skiers also. Keep up the good work.

[@BoMathys]

Love the videos keep it up

[@harvey7381]

Great food for thoughts... and super simple!

[@themonkeydoo3]

Completed my Avy 1 clinic this last winter break

[@Angrysquirel1]

Sick gear brah!

[@stckyfngr9407]

nice one

[@nanakeyks]

I dont freeride, but I plan to in a couple of years. This video gives me a bit more confidence to do that one day.

[@StompItTutorials]

Sounds good Arnold!

[@PSPmaster321]

"Legs like a mooose" hahaha

[@fmbjmf]

Great video! "If your tummy says no, don't go" Very sad that your "how to drop on skis" vid has 445K views, "How to ski powder" has 157K views and this one has 78K. Especially when you recommend it right in the video. We're up to 12 deaths this year in Canada, avalanche safety is no joke.

[@lorezyra]

One critical point not highlighted: Always bring friends. Have someone that can help dig you out of potential problems.

[@nater567]

This is a safety tip for all days in the b.c., not just avalanche terrain

[@MrRundervinkje]

Next vid on proper use + tips for probe and shovel?

[@tevobnomis9984]

I normally carry all that stuff but I’ve always some energy bars in my pockets and a little fixed blade knife (the Schrade SCHF15 for the ones who want to know) because you never know when you’ll need to cut something like bag straps or whatever in case of emergency.

[@TheJohanNorway]

I need your ispo video nooow!

[@StompItTutorials]

Why? I am making them as soon as I can but got a few more prioritised videos to make first.

[@arvidbostrom8986]

Can you start doing some offpist/big mountain/freeride tutarials like hos to drop off a cliff or so?

[@waldquellz3794]

arlberg love btw!!!

[@waldquellz3794]

S1M0N i think its laax in switzerland!

[@christoffersegercrantz9215]

yup

[@jeremybevis6441]

Could you elaborate on why the risk is more on different aspects of the mountain. I know wind affecting cornices but I thought north facing slopes were safer than south facing because the sun does not affect it so much therefore more stable. Is this wrong?

[@hdubbs9174]

After new snowfall, south facing slopes get more sun causing the new layers to consolidate faster--thereby becoming more stable than north facing slopes. Snow is complicated and there are many variables (wind, sun, temperature, direction...) that affect snow pack stability. Don't just watch videos like these, *take a course before venturing off into backcountry*. She got the "north facing slopes are dangerous" from the bulletin, which in Austria is updated daily, depending on weather conditions, altitude, and snow tests. This isn't a general rule, it was just taken from the report. Your avi courses should teach you how to read and interpret the bulletin in order to minimize risk.

[@oscarnordhuus376]

Tips for reading the terrain, and not falling off a cliff?

[@StompItTutorials]

That would have been good to have in it too. Next time we make safety video.

[@gitrat912]

Any tips for starting rails?

[@xander-san5874]

just do it, rails are just skinnier boxes. Nothing to be afraid of.

[@yoav16]

[@waldquellz3794]

thats a cool lookin compass. kappa

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

Looks robust. Kappa

[@erlendlvold6695]

Ispo 2018?

[@StompItTutorials]

I have filmed quite some but straight after ISPO, I had to make a lot of tutorials. ISPO videos are droping as soon as possible.

[@erlendlvold6695]

Stomp It Tutorials ok:)

[@maximekoster6714]

plz backflip tutorial

[@StompItTutorials]

Soon

[@shemhaque2758]

The Chamonix avalanche bulletin is only available in French :(

[@volcod2929]

shem mey but u have Google traduction or u ask me

[@emanuelstephen6755]

Are avalanche backpacks reusable?

[@StompItTutorials]

Some are but most you need to change a small "gas tank" on after every time you use it. The one I am using in the how to ski powder can be used 2 times on one charge since it´s electric.

[@emanuelstephen6755]

Stomp It Tutorials thanks. Make more powder videos.

[@slurpee4u123]

I thought a compasses accuracy was affected by large mountains

[@domiparker6193]

Where are the ispo videos???

[@StompItTutorials]

I didn´t have time yet and had to focus on making a few freeride videos so I will make some ISPO videos as soon as possible. I hope they will be worth the wait :P

[@domiparker6193]

Stomp It Tutorials Im sure they will! 🤘

[@LeadHase]

If you don’t know, don’t go!

[@StompItTutorials]

Thats right

[@lusenator]

"if your tummy says no, you don't go"

[@silasschneider4918]

Gibts hier Leute die im Montafon unterwegs sind?

[@rancidhotmail]

the avalanche bulletin in my area doesnt tell you shit, it just shows the avalanche threat from a scale 1-4

[@nater567]

The bulletin in most places is pretty simple, and based on pretty simple information. Check the weather every day and compare that with how it will affect avalanche danger. Add all the layers and make your own bulletin over the course of the season.

With that tash I thought this was gonna be a porno.

[@maxwright4387]

hello. is this person drunk

[@ym4682]

Is she on something 🤔

[@xxxMANU14xxx]

I dont like the fact that you recommend an Airbag. This give you a false feeling of safety, and many people take bigger risks. I Know many professionell certifyed mountain guides and not one of them uses an Airbag. this Video does not nearly Show the real danger of avalanches, and gives the feeling that it is easy for everybody to leave the slope and go to the open Terrain, but this in dangerous and needs lot of skills that nobody can learn by watching KZbin Videos.

[@adamwittboldt1955]

Ispo 2018?

[@StompItTutorials]

Coming as soon as possible but they don´t have the highest priority right now.
