Climbing with skins can be tranquil. The rhythm of the shuffling feeds, the sound of your own breath. You are surrounded by a beautiful scenery that will (dis)solve all your sorrows. This is the experience of the ultimate joy, especially when you ski down in perfect snow.As a backcountry skier you will, generally, not walk the beaten track. Being remote is a potential risk. Make it your challenge to control all the risk as much as you can.
To achieve this, a good condition, knowledge and experience are important but also a good preparation. This site supports you in planning your tour.

 
bulletA Tour plan structuralize the planning of a ski tour. It can be compared with a Flight plan and should be a obligation for every independent backcountry skier.  
  
It is based on the principles of  3 x 3 method  (planning at home, local planning and observation during touring). 

  
For a first impression, have al look at the Tour plan Example of the
Bündner Haute Route Graubünden in the Tour planning chapter.
 
bulletAn important aspect of the preparation at home is the creation of the Route plan. 
  
A Route plan gives you a good expectation of the duration. It helps you to find your route in case of pour visibility and it makes you aware of the risks. Select Route planning in the Tour planning chapter. Here you will find a Calculation sheet that will help you to plan your day tour.
  
bulletBooks, touring guides and so on are essential for planning your own tour. In case you like to do a standard tour, the menu books can be very valuable.
This site gives you an overview of the
Available Literature. You can read the abstract of in total 90 titles. The books published last season or later (15 in total) are indicated with 
  
bulletWe call it all snow but the crystals can have all kind of shapes. It can fell down as flakes but under strong wind conditions tiny stars will reach the earth. Due to the wind, the properties of the now will be complete different.
After falling down the snow will undergo a complete metamorphosis. Every stadium has its impact on the stability of the snow layer.
Get to now more about snow for a better understanding of the avalanche risk (select Snow Sense in the Handbook). See for more information the Instruction books in the literature list.
  
bulletOn the market you will find a wide variety of GPS types. Which model fulfils my needs? Must it include an altitude meter or a compass? Read all about it (Dutch), but remember: a GPS is an addition tool and not a replacement for your map, altitude meter and compass! See also the Interesting links in the information chapter.
