If you are stuck in an avalanche, try doing the following :

• Get away from machines, equipment and heavy objects to avoid injuries.
• Hold on to something solid (trees, rocks, etc.) in order to not be taken away by the avalanche.
• Keep your mouth closed and clench your jaw.
• If the avalanche carries you towards the bottom, stay on the surface by making a swimming movement.
• Try to move yourself toward the side of the avalanche.

When the avalanche slows down, try doing the following :

• Get back to the surface.
• Create an air pouch in front of your face using your arm.
• Move your other arm toward the surface.

When the avalanche has ended :

• Get yourself out, if that’s possible.
• Breath calmly, especially if you are unable to get back to the surface.
• Stay calm and scream only when a searcher is nearby.
