ISSW special edition EP2 - Where to ski? How guides make decisions in avalanche terrain. A talk with Stig Løland

Skredpodden

In this podcast serie we will talk with contributers to the ISSW conference. There are still conference passes available: www.issw2024.com/registration. We have a very nice online service where you can interactively follow the conference online.
In this episode we talk about how guides make their decisions. Most of us can choose the day and the people we like to go skiing with. Guides often can not. How do guides manage their group, choose where to ski and manage the balansing act between keeping their clients relatively safe while still providing them with exciting skiing.
Stig Løland has been a IFMGA guide for 20 years. He has been teaching students decision making in avalanche terrain and the past four years he has been working with his PhD on decision making in avalanche terrain focusing on guides.
