WInter practice on 17 December 2023

If snow which has just fallen (2nd of December) stays with us until mid December, we ca organize the winter pracice early this year. If not, the event will be postponed to January.

The plan is as always - to play in snow. As every year we will make sure we didn't forget how to arrest in snow, perform an avalanche search, set up a snow anchor and a pulley systems, etc.

As always we will aim at the first and last ride of the Rax Seilbahn. Our training ground - the basin next to the Otto Haus (precisely at the left side of this webcam) - is around 20 minutes walk from the top station of the cable car.

This isn't a course. If you are looking for one, Alpenverein organizes pretty many winter courses in English and all of them are listed on the main page.

By default by car but the cable car is also reachable by the public transport (a train to Payerbach + bus)
