Managing Risk

The concept of Managing Risk on Snow (MRS) was created to help instructors develop their skill of decision making. The information strives to provide insight into HOW we can make better decisions.

Chris Kaipio works as a ski pro for Whistler Blackcomb, serves on the board of directors for the Association of Mountain Guides and is an ACMG mountain guide. He has produced a series of interesting videos on risk management for ski instructors,
