Everyone is crazy about snow and fantastic soft powder that allows you to float on untouched slopes. More and more fans feeride, off-piste skiing, which in the years ultrimi choose the land'' s adventure instead of groomed trails. Certainly the feelings are wonderful, but the enthusiasm'' for its heavy snowfalls and the desire to sail for the first slopes never done before can sometimes lead to carelessness. In fact, the news in recent days, unfortunately, speak of misfortunes in different locations, where it is sometimes the same skier victim and perpetrator himself.
 A wrong track and crossed a slope in an area at risk may be the root cause of avalanches and landslides with potentially dramatic implications.
Esistone simple rules, but essential, to minimize the risk of off-piste skiing. The basic advice is to be well informed before you even choose which route to face: Always consult snow, assess the level of risk and also the weather conditions of the previous days. Be careful because a beautiful sunny day it is very tempting, but if in the days before it snowed a lot or c'' was the wind mantle may not yet be settled. In particular, the wind gusts on the ridges forming accumulations that if you cut skis give rise to avalanches. The rise in temperature, then, is an'' other causes detachment of avalanches. '' The equipment is crucial: the backpack should contain all the required safety equipment (transceiver, shovel, probe), but it is wrong to think that this resets all risk. The transceiver device for research on avalanche should always be turned and worn. Moreover, the whole kit goes perfectly known and must know how to use in case you need to look for a mate submerged. For some time there ABS backpacks that contain a self-inflating pillow that helps the waterline and are Buana a solution to avoid being overwhelmed. Finally, the most important thing: prudence. Each standard for security is useless if it is not accompanied by common sense. I do not have to go it alone into the mountain better if to address excursions off the track and into unknown territory we rely on carers experiments as mountain guides and ski instructors.

Dolomiti UNESCO, il bilancio di Banca d'Italia: +9% di pernottamenti senza consumare più territorio
Il paper di Banca d'Italia analizza gli effetti sui flussi turistici e sull'ambiente nei 4 anni successivi all'iscrizione delle Dolomiti nella lista dei Patrimoni Mondiali dell'Umanità, avvenuta nel 2009. A fronte di un incremento delle presenze, il numero di strutture turistiche non è cresciuto e quello di posti letto si è ridotto. Ai maggiori flussi turistici non si è associato né un aumento del consumo di suolo né una maggiore produzione di rifiuti, dimostrando il potenziale del riconoscimento UNESCO nel generare benefici economici locali senza compromettere la qualità ambientale, a condizione che siano in atto un efficace coordinamento istituzionale e solide garanzie normative.
