Problem - Nobody to go skiing with, dangers of going alone
You should never ski alone
risks - getting lost, injured off piste, avalanche
Facts - only 18% of ski injuries are beginners meaning the other 82% are inter med or professionals
0.9% of skiers get injured but each ski season this could equate to 1,350,000 people getting injured each ski season (135 million skiers)
Most avalanche victims are rescued, but those who aren’t die of suffocation as the snow hardens and buries them. Never travel alone. Always have one or more companions. Even small avalanches can be fatal. If you are alone and get trapped, you may not be found until spring.
93 percent of avalanche victims can be recovered alive if they are dug out within the first 15 minutes, but then the numbers drop catastrophically. skiing alone is most susceptible to ski injury, while skiing in couples or in bigger groups reduces the risk of injury by 46%.
