Ski touring on glaciers requires additional safety skills. How do I avoid falls into crevasses? And what do I do if it does happen? How do I navigate on vast glacier plateaus? How do I use GPS and compass? How do we negotiate ridges in winter? You won't become a professional during this course but we guarantee you'll have a few more answers!
