 Important to know 

 

 Information for North Americans

While ski-patrolled back country skiing is prevalent in North American skiing, the same is not true in Europe. With such large mountains, there is a greater risk for exposure to avalanches when going “off-piste” or off-trail, and skiers are taking that risk into their own hands in Europe as these areas are not monitored by ski patrol. If you do plan to ski off-piste, always come prepared with avalanche equipment and consider hiring a mountain guide.
