Preparing for the backcountry
We had a session with Nick and Scott from NSA this week to get us clued up on how to deal with emergency situations when working in the back country. We’re working with these guys this year with back country photography and video for professional and advanced skiiers/riders.
Super stoked on the whole program and can’t wait to be scoring fresh lines from the Cat. We ran through a few scenarios from a broken wrist to spinal injury with evacuation (Bon makes a great spinal injury model). These guys know their stuff and it’s an awesome opportunity to work along side them – not to mention the chance to score some great snow and fresh lines in Niseko’s backcountry!!

Bon with a broken neck – doesn’t look good.
Evac!
how’d Jo break his leg in the middle of the flat like that?
He was instructed to by Nick. When Nick says ‘break your leg and lie down over there’ you do it.
