Avalanche classes for off-piste dare devils A growing number of skiers and snowboarders are leaving the black, red, blue and green slopes to venture off piste, which is fine provided they follow the safety advice, experts said. Safety experts in Switzerland, where one quarter of these deaths occur, are anxious to reduce this figure and have launched free avalanche awareness classes at 10 ski stations nationwide for those who venture off piste. "This is important for tourists who go off piste and also for professionals who are responsible for avalanche safety in their community," said Ottmer. www.terradaily.com /2004/040218025528.av8o96jj.html

Off-piste Skiing and Snowboarding News The mountains are home to 27 ski resorts and around 1000km of piste - okay so that would fit into the Three Valleys and Paradiski ski areas alone but is represents a turnover of 84 million euros, a figure that has increased constantly since the millennium. We have battled Russian and Chinese hackers and spamsters and fought off rogue Dutch robots. No jetting off to Chile or even getting a few turns in on France’s threadbare glaciers. www.pistehors.com

Skiing - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch Recently, skiers and snowboarders have engaged in rivalry on and off the slopes, which is usually friendly and increases the notoriety of both sports; snowboarders often share hills with downhill skiers. Ski troops played a key role in retaining Finnish independence from Russia during the Winter War, and from Germany during the Lapland War, although the use of ski troops was recorded by the Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus in the 13th century. For many people, "skiing" means recreational downhill skiing in which one visits a ski resort, purchases a lift ticket, dons cold-weather clothing, skis, ski boots and ski poles, and embarks on a chairlift, gondola lift, or means mechanical uphill transport. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /skiing.htm

Off-piste Skiing off piste offers some of the most memorable experiences on snow: the exhilaration of untouched powder, the solitude and beauty of the mountains, and a glowing feeling of self-reliance and achievement. Whilst everyone from strong intermediate up can enjoy skiing off piste, you must be aware of your limitations, and avoid being over-ambitious. Make sure that you are aware of the level of avalanche danger and check the weather forecast: being caught off piste in fog or in a blizzard is extremely dangerous. www.ifyouski.com /Technique/Alpineskiing/Offpiste

Off-piste on Volkl 5 Star's?????? :: global ski club, ski discussion forum, snowboard snow board. I have off piste tuition booked for Dec and Jan and I realise that wider/slightly longer for off piste is best but I'm interested in people's experience of the 5's when going off piste. Longer term, when I feel that I'm good enough to test skis properly off piste, I'll be happy to switch to either freeriders or get an additional pair of skis for off piste. In retrospect I might have been better off with a shorter ski but again on piste that might have been a compromise. snowheads.com /phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3538

Guardian Unlimited The Guardian Simon Hoggart: Faithful warm to Blair only as he strays off piste It was the first time he'd gone off piste, and the first time they felt a real person was talking, not a "Speak Your Manifesto" machine. The only point at which they warmed to the speech came when he stumbled and said that people were on average "800 years better off". There was also praise for Gordon Brown - "the most successful British post-war chancellor" - but apart from that the speech was, as he said, "unremittingly New Labour". www.guardian.co.uk /guardianpolitics/story/0,3605,1390161,00.html

The Serotonin Report: Off piste and up We'd arranged to meet Jon and Darren at 4.30 for a drink in the bar halfway down the Les Jeux greens and we had to go off piste in order to ski all the way to the required drag lift. About 11.30 I was standing in the lounge looking though the photo's, no doubt drunkenly mouthing off comments, when all of a sudden Alex stood up, marched into the kitchen, burst into tears in the most melodramic way possible and cried onto the kitchen counter. We left Iain and Nikki at that point and at the top of Signal, Jon and Darren went off to do some red runs while Lisa and myself took the chair lift to do the blue Vachettes run. uberland.blogspot.com /2005/02/off-piste-and-up.html

BBC - Weather Centre - Sport and Events - Off-piste Skiing The joy of these new skis is that they enable the less experienced skier to venture off-piste for the first time. As the typical British skier becomes more and more experienced, the lure and pleasures of skiing away from the marked and prepared pistes are attracting an ever growing band of "off-piste" skiers. As a general rule grades 4 and 5 are too dangerous to ski off-piste, with 3 being marginal but skiable, if you are utilising the services of a qualified guide. www.bbc.co.uk /weather/sports/features/ski_safety.shtml
