45 minutes long.
You’ll learn how to:
Prepare before you travel: conditions, kit, route planning, and the risks people often miss.
Stay safe on the piste: awareness, behaviour, and the simple habits that keep everyone out of trouble.
Respond when things go wrong: calm, clear actions for common incidents and emergencies.
Understand avalanche risk: what causes them, how to spot danger signs, and how to reduce your exposure.
Stay safe after slope closure: what changes, what catches people out, and how to protect yourself.
Short, punchy, and packed with practical know-how. Ideal for anyone heading into snowy terrain and wanting to feel fully prepared rather than just hopeful.
About the teacher
Caroline Elliott
International Speaker and Author Snow Safety Consultant and Educator Former Avalanche SAR Dog...
From the moment Caroline Elliott first clipped into a pair of skis at the age of ten, she knew the mountains would shape her life. That childhood spark grew into a career defined by courage, curiosity, and care for others. As the founder of FjordSAR, named after her loyal search and rescue dog, Caroline combines years of frontline experience with a deep passion for education, teaching snow safety, avalanche awareness, and confident decision-making in unpredictable environments. She became the first British woman to serve in the French Fire and Rescue specialist mountain unit, earning advanced rescue qualifications at ENSA in Chamonix. Today, through her talks, training, and writing, Caroline shares what the mountains have taught her: that true leadership comes from calm under pressure, trust in your team, and respect for the forces, human or natural, that shape every challenge.
