Hello fellow bashers;
I'm gauging interest to see if we can put a group together of (up to) 6 people for a guided off-piste day. It would be for Sunday 8 January. Cost is £360 for the group (up to 6 - so £60 each if there are 6 of us)
For this you would need to have a shovel / probe / beacon & know how to use them. This is the safety side of riding off-piste. Terrain approach will be dependent of the guide's assessment of over-all group ability & snow conditions.
More info on Keith (the guide) here:

So who's interested?
Cheers;

A passing familiarity with them would be ideal, but Keith will do some work with us before taking us out. There's nothing better than a spot of on mountain practice and if you have the gear and never give it a go, then it's wasted gear.
What Dunx means is he's sorted the 'a' group out and this is for the snowboarding equivalent of The Undateables or 'b' group ;)
Sort of. I just asked the people who have done backcountry guiding with me before.
For those on a guided trip, or anyone interested in general, here's Ortovox's guide to avalanche awareness and rescue for you to read in website flipbook form...

A little knowledge before you go can go a long way...
Be a bit pointless owning them if you don't already know how to use them...
