ROME. For Ida, the ski touring is an unforgettable of your life. Is his best ally to get away from the “madding crowd” and carve out moments of calm, along with his friends. But the unexpected, especially in the mountains, you know, are often behind the corner. One of these, struck in one of his excursions a little over a year ago: an avalanche detached at 1900 meters of altitude swept it away together with his 5 companions. “I slipped and was swept downstream until I ended up against a tree,” he says. “When I saw the mass of snow, are finished under the snow, but my friends, especially my friend, they have been extraordinary to keep your mind cool and be clear-headed and immediately identify the coordinates, in order to alert the rescue and to set me free from the snow, covering myself immediately to reduce the hypothermia.” This is exactly the point too often overlooked: in the mountain, “the risk of ‘zero’ does not exist and know the basic rules in case of an avalanche, it is essential to increase the chances of survival. Be an expert skier not enough at all”.
The experience – fortunately with a happy ending – Ida has been the inspiration for an event rather particular, which will be held in Sun valley from 6 to 8 march: the community Women of the Mountain, with the alpine Guides, the mountain Rescue Trentino Azienda per il Turismo Val di Sole and Just organize the first national meeting of women at dedicated to ski-mountaineering, freeriding and mountain safety. The camp will be held in an exclusive mountain chalet, and as the “basis” is specified, the Mas de la Bolp, a farm located in a panoramic, strategic location, offers a typical cuisine with local products and km 0.
The natural setting is that of the beautiful and wild Val di Rabbi, a side valley of the famous Val di Sole, with its amphitheater environmental made of ice waterfalls and larch forests. During the days and during the various climbs are expected moments of learning in which an instructor of Alpine Rescue will perform practical tests of the search in the avalanche with the Artva, and will address the key themes of safety in the mountains: what to wear and put in your backpack, how to plan the outputs of ski mountaineering and freeride, what are the basics of avalanche awareness and emergency management.
“the rescue,” explains the mountain guide Manuel Zambanini – in the case of ski mountaineering and of the accidents in the avalanche, that is what makes the most difference, because the preparation and the rapid intervention of fellow hikers, can help you extract a living person overwhelmed by the avalanche”. How useful such notions, confirmed by the statistical data of accidents caused by avalanches in 2019 in Trentino were 23 skiers involved (an increase of 76% from the year before). Fortunately, only one of them died. And numbers similar count in each alpine region. In all cases, the skills acquired before starting, have proven to be essential.
