How to Self Arrest | Episode 5 | MSC Alpine Snow Skills Series

In this episode of the Alpine Snow Skills Series, we will show you various self arresting techniques so that you can attempt to stop a fall from becoming an uncontrollable slide. The different techniques shown will cover a range of potential falling scenarios.

This series is aimed to introduce participants to basic skills and we encourage you to further your education to keep yourself safe in the outdoors. A great place to start is to watch the rest of the videos in this series and attend an alpine skills course.
