| Safety capsule: Alert - Ski operations | A special winter for many of us who like to explore the northern lakes on skis. Late season and uncertain lakes. I offer you here a reminder of precautionary measures during operations on skis: Never venture into remote areas alone, depart with at least 2 aircraft; - Analyze the terrain from the air before undertaking the approach: obstacles on the ground, surrounding terrain in the event of a go-around, best exits for possible take-off;
- On the first approach, fly over at low speed and low altitude for a good view of the ground: look for "hot spots" (darker area of snowy space), possible buried snowmen, ice holes fishermen and others;
- On the first landing maintain full throttle and a good ground speed by letting the skis put weight on the snow without stopping for a length equivalent to at least twice the required landing/takeoff length and make a lift;
- If the layer of snow has a significant crust, take off again immediately and return the following winter;
- From the air, check if the water has come up in our tracks. If positive, move on to the next lake, otherwise begin the approach with the objective of depositing the skis at the very beginning of our same track to stop in the first third in order to keep the rest for take-off;
- On the ground, avoid turns, the best way to find a hot spot and rush into the slush;
- Always relaunch in the same tracks, this reduces the risk of encountering an unexpected obstacle;
- Watch out for snowmobile trails, absolutely avoid them if not approach them at low speed;
- In a “whiteout” situation, avoid small lakes. Hang a long approach with a gentle slope. If you go along the edge of the lake to get a ground reference, make sure you are on the upwind side.
Above all, bring all the necessary survival equipment.
Let's enjoy the rest of the season, protect our riders' rights and protect our insurance premiums!
