This year, the first training course on ski mountaineering took place in Argentina with the participation of mountain guides from Ecuador, Peru and Mexico. This course, will serve as leveling prior to the IFMGA Ski Guide course and is aimed at professionals from countries where the IFMGA training does not include ski modules due to lack of infrastructure.
The training, coordinated by Luciano Fiorenza and the Argentinian Mountain Guides Association, covered topics such as descent technique, ascent technique and risk management in snowy terrain.
