Setting up a rappel during a ski descent
On a ski descent, a non-skiable section may require rappelling. It is often necessary to improvise an anchor using natural features.
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.
