In descending steep slopes at night it is safest to sideslip.
Uniform distress signal.—A man or party who, be-yound question of doubt, requires aid should give three signals (=SOS) of any sort, audible or visual, at frequent intervals. A yell is perhaps the least satisfactory signal, because it will soon tire the vocal cords, and, unfortunately, is often mistakenly assumed not to be a call of distress. The call for help is acknowledged by two signals (=0K) and an immediate attempt to help.
The skier who is lost should follow the maxim, "stay warm and keep cool." He must waste no effort. He should:
1) Sit down and think, carefully plan a way out of
his predicament.
2) Try to retrace his steps to the last familiar land
mark, seek a good point of vantage, and reconstruct the
proper route from there.
3) Failing in this, he should stay put, build a fire, sig
nal for help, and prepare to bivouac.
Fire building.—To build a fire in the snow quickly, in stormy weather or at low temperatures, is sometimes a major problem. The fire may serve only as a convenience during a noonday stop, or it may be essential in case of accident. Where warmth is urgently necessary, however,
the ski mountaineer should remember his tent and sleeping bag, in which he can keep warm and dry, and his stove, on which he can prepare hot, stimulating drinks.
If the skier wishes to, or must, build a fire, he should choose a spot sheltered from wind and falling snow. This may be in the lee of a rock, in the shelter of a large conifer, or in a small grove of saplings which break the wind.
