Presentation
Pack SSD Weekend Banked Slalom Option : Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th of January 2025
Experience a full weekend of training and riding in the fun & relaxed atmosphere of the Safety Shred Days! Join us for practical and theoretical training sessions, riding, evenings filled with fun, movie nights, and much more—everything you need for a smart yet enjoyable weekend among fellow enthusiasts!
The training day on Saturday features the same activities for all, varying only by skill level, but this year we are introducing new training levels. In addition to the traditional levels (novice, intermediate, and expert), we are adding two advanced levels (Level 4 - Pro) inspired by training designed for professional riders: “Avalanche First Aid & Complex Rescue, in Autonomy” and “Rope Management & Avalanche Rescue in Isolated Terrain.” Choose the one that best suits your needs! (Details of the levels are at the bottom of the page.)
On Sunday, here you take the option of the Banked Slalom: participate (and/or cheer on your friends) in a fun race on a specially designed course featuring banked turns and natural obstacles, accessible to all skill levels. We will then gather for a delicious lunch and our planned activities to wrap up the weekend beautifully!
Note: The day starts at 8:30 AM on Saturday, with a movie night on Friday evening.
Please note the training on Saturday will be mostly IN FRENCH, especially the conference.
