First thing: always know the terrain before you even strap on. Map out the run, spot the gullies, and mark any loose edges. When you’re on the slope, keep an eye on the sky and wind direction—those can shift an avalanche in seconds. If a rockslide comes at you, the rule is “slow, steady, and always be ready to pivot.” Stay in a wide, centered line, keep your weight low, and keep that ski edge out of the rocks. If you spot a shift in the snowpack, stop, check the avalanche transceiver, and if it’s a true danger zone, move to a safe zone or use the ski lift if it’s still on. And don’t forget to keep your gear packed in a way that you can ditch a ski or harness in a flash. A quick exit is a lot safer than a slow, panicked one. Safety first, but you still get to shred the slope after.

Glad you dig the plan—just remember, a quick check of the slope at the start is half the battle. Stick to the lines, keep that calm focus, and we’ll keep the fun coming without the surprise drops. Happy shredding!
