Back Country and Nature Ski
You can feel more familiar with the nature of winter when you are skiing or snowboarding out of piste.
If you put corss-countryboots or snowshoes and walk into the snow-covered field, you may find some footpirnts and wild animals running through the bush.
However, keep in mind that you are now facing to the ever changing nature with unfathomable power.
Befor leaving, be sure to check the accessibility of your cellular phone as well as to check the weather forecast. Blizzard often changes the shape of the land and even the local people sometimes lost the way in the familiar mountain after the heavy blizzard. Getting through the new layer of soft snow may exhausts you very much.
Especially in spring time, you need to watch out for the avalanches and be careful not to fall down into the hidden river. Be sure to prepare the right clothes, gears(beacon, emergency blanket, disposable body warmer and so on )and high calorie foods for the worst case. And it is highly recommended to go out with a good local guide.
When your instinct tells you "stop and return", follow his advice. Instinct has been the bravest part of us.
