2016 – Observing Ski Touring and Decision making in the Alps. What ordinary people do or Not Do and Why? (ISSW 2016)
The project wants to observe what people really do contributing to new theory on behaviour and decision-making. Observing how people ski tour might give new insights we have missed and that locals can’t see within their habits and tradition. Field work will continue within the European Alps and US Rockies.
