Most of the route information I have read here suggests that a freeride route simply is one where you access it primarily by lift, whereas a touring route is accessed primarily by skinning. I would not assume a freeride route is controlled. <br /><br />Of course, even in bounds in the U.S., while the odds of an avalanche are low, they are not zero. <br /><br />JimJim Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15799757451626876963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-85665883658628728902019-02-12T14:23:39.409-07:002019-02-12T14:23:39.409-07:00Thanks.

Somewhat unrelated-I know that the alps ski areas do not avalanche control everything "inbounds" like US ski areas, only ski runs. But there are some things that are not clear like the skiroutes, iteneraires, ski touring routes, and some now have freeride areas. Have you been able to determine which are secured for avalanche or not?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
