My first post here although I´ve been visiting this page for quite some time now. Awesome place!
I´m going to Norway in early spring time together with some more experienced friends. We´re going to trekk in snowy mountain landscapes and maybe there will also be some light climbing involved.
Altough I´m in good hands, I´d personally like to be as prepared as possible so now I´m asking you guys if you know any good and THOROUGH DVD tutorials about alpine mountaineering skills. Interesting topics would especially be:
* Glacier knowledge (roping techniques, rescue technique, identifying potentiakl crevasses, and so on)
* Avalanche skills (detecting potentially hazardous slopes, rescue technique and so on)
Except for those to (glacier knowledge and avalanche skills) I´d also be interested to know more about pretty much everything that´s good to know in those kind of environments.
So, any DVD:s you guys can recommend me? Please note that I´m particularly on the hunt for DVD:s. I already have a couple of good books on the subject, so books is not want I want. Also please not that I want INSTRUCTIONAL DVD:s - so dramatic documentaries about the Himalayas ("Discovery Channel style") is not what I want.
Thanks in advance!
