 avalanche & crevace dangers by MrBill
You are advised to ski in pairs. To carry avalanche transceivers, shovels and probe poles. If you are ski touring or snowboarding where there is a danger of cravaces, you should also have an extraction rope and prusic ropes, and know how to use them. A knowledge of z-pulleys is also advisable. Self-help is best. Rescuers may be a long time in arriving.
If you trigger an avalanche and kill yourself, that is a risk you accept, if you ski off-piste. If you trigger an avalanche and kill someone else, you may be charged with criminal negligence. You put the lives of trained rescuers at risk when they have to launch a search & rescue mission to locate and extract you. If you are rescued, you may be charged in cash or credit card for the extraction, so it is advisable to also carry extra insurance.
So, think about it before you duck the rope and head out off-piste. Leave a Comment

 Zugspitze - It's getting COLD! by Kuznetsov_Sergey
|
 This one was open! by PaulKirk
The best thing to do is check the Garmisch Tourist website and make a list of the ruhetags. That way your cool beer and a warm welcome should be guaranteed.
very occasionally bars and huts in the hills can still be closed. It's rare but if it happens don't blame me! Website: paulkirkkirfg7@supadsl2.com

Being one of the safest towns, in possibly the safest state in the safest country on the safest continent, Garmisch-Partenkirche has little to concern the average traveller. There were no beggars, no drunks, and no rough areas of town. The tourists are probably more likely to cause trouble than the locals, who were mostly very friendly (moreso than the average German).

It wasn't until we'd returned to Stuttgart and had to refill the coolant twice in a week before we realized that something was really wrong. Our mechanic told me in a combination of his broken English and my lamentable German, that an animal had eaten through the cables. Sure enough, there were the tiny teeth marks. Apparently the animals in question are some kind of weasel or marten (sp?). I guess we were just unlucky and I don't know how to prevent this in the future. Leave a Comment

 The base of the Klammspitze by TheTripmeister
Basic Rules:
1. Be realistic with your hike selection. A person with a few 2,000 meter hikes under his new boots shouldn´t think he´s ready for the Jubiläumsgrat (the ridge between the Alp and Zugspitze).
2. Take a map. Even though the trails are well marked in most cases, a map can prevent a time consuming detour which could have one arriving home in the dark - or not at all.
3. Get the current weather report. Things change very quickly, especially at higher elevations. Pack warm clothing, even in summer. Lightning is also the cause of several deaths every year.
4. Bring a cell phone and pre enter the local Bergwacht number.
5. Take a partner. If going it alone, leave your planned route with a someone you know along with an estimated time of return.
6. Take along food and water. There are many mountain huts around Garmisch-Partenkirchen which offer both Bier and Wurst´l. However, the day you don´t bring any grub along will be the day the "Hütte" is closed. Always have provisions.
Plan, go, return (with some wonderful pics, of course)!
