Avalanche is one of the greatest dangers that threaten skiers, so it is necessary for any mountaineer to know the factors affecting the occurrence of avalanches, so having knowledge  about avalanche is one of the important features of a ski guide.

 

Ski guide equipment

In addition, equipment is one of the most important factors in organizing a ski tour. So never ever use a mountain guide who are not equipped well and proper, the advised equipment is as follows:

Shovels are used for digging out a person from the snow. If you have an avalanche transceiver but don’t have Shovels, your efforts will be useless. Rescuing avalanche victims depends on Shovels because this tool can speed up the digging process up to ten times. there are also other usages like being buried to serve as an anchor or sit on instead of sitting on the snow, or even to unstuck a snowmobile. A shovel is too essential for Iran ski guide should be in the list of essentials, don’t forget to check Shovel with your Iran ski guide, especially for an avalanche-prone mountain.

Probes are used to poke around when the victim doesn’t have visible clues on the surface.

But this tool has another usage, looking for a good place to dig a snow pit or feel the buried snow layers as well as assess snow bridges over crevasses. This useful tool is a lifesaver for those victims who usually don’t have avalanche beacons with them. Experience and equipment are the most important factors for choosing a mountain or ski guide, finding these cases from reviews of tourists can help you for selecting the program, Damavand tours are really relied on a professional guide so never forget to choose your Damavand guide carefully.
