Igloo Weekend: The Science of Cold and Snow with Anne Zanolin
1 / 3
Description
Ever wanted to understand better how to manage in a cold environment, with avalanche risks ? This special week-end "snow, cold, avalanche and igloo" with Anne and Montagnes and Sciences organisation is made for you !
Anne is a mountain guide, ski patroller and first-aid instructor; she is a certified instructor with ANENA (National Association for the Study of Snow and Avalanches) and holds a Ph.D. in Geosciences.
Anne invites you to explore, through hands-on workshops in the field, the various properties and mechanisms of snow transformation and heat transfer. We’ll touch, observe, smell, walk, and experience... And of course, we’ll learn the basics of how to protect ourselves (igloo building, avalanche risk management, and avalanche victim search).
The weekend includes (weather permitting):
• snowshoe hike
• basic knowledge of snow
• igloo building, cold management
• introduction to snow science and avalanche risk management
• introduction to avalanche transceiver use, simulated victim search.
Please note: this weekend is not a safety training course but an introductory weekend! For formal training, see the ANENA courses.
And for your family, friends, or group, feel free to contact me to organize a day, a weekend, or a trip tailored to your desires and needs (by personal arrangement)!
