Helping a partner during a ski descent
The second skier carries rope and equipment to create an anchor and belay, to be able to help the first skier in case of difficulty.
Who carries the rope in a group of skiers?
When traveling unroped, the rope must be ready to be effectively deployed in case of an accident. Without going to the point of pre-installing a haul system in a pack, and without overloading the skiers with excessive equipment, it is necessary to anticipate the risks that will be encountered on the planned route, in order to distribute the equipment in a logical manner.
