5) Keep skis together. Consider the photographers in
your party and don't leave a "railroad" track. A narrow
track, besides looking better, indicates safer skiing. Bal
ance, if upset, can be restored with the shoulders and
ample bending of knees and ankles; if worst comes to
worst and a bump throws you, at least the bump will
have affected both skis equally. Most damage is wrought
when a fall, in and of itself, stops only one ski.
6) When in doubt, traverse and kick-turn. An open
christy into the hill, with the aid of the upper pole and
body swing, can with little practice be made in any snow
conditions. This is true of no other turn but the kickturn, which will reverse the direction in preparation for
another traverse and open christy into the hill. Stem-
christies away from the hill at thirty miles per hour are
prettier to watch and more thrilling to execute than are
kick-turns, and should be attempted, though perhaps at
lower speed, when conditions warrant; but a fall with a
pack, in poor snow that may thinly conceal a sharp rock,
may not be thrilling.
7) It saves time and energy to use a prolonged and
gradual route of descent, rather than to make a quick and steep descent, thereafter having to pole on the level.
The purpose here is not to urge that every ski mountaineer be an alarmist, nor that he establish a copybook code of skiing morals. The instinct of self-preservation will, after all, tend to protect even a skier. He should merely take care that this instinct does not become atrophied.
"Don't schuss in where angels fear to stem."
Storm, Night, and Fire
Travel in storm.—Travel in a snowstorm requires special care. Visibility is poor, and although air temperatures usually are not so low as they often are in fair weather, wind, clouds, and snow will chill the skier much sooner. It is difficult to get warm again, and opportunities for rest are greatly reduced or absent, so that danger from fatigue is increased. The skier should therefore wait out the storm in camp, where he can be both comfortable and safe.
