Ski touring: Analyzing risk-taking behavior and risk avoidance associated with an emerging outdoor activity in the Alps
JSAMS Plus(2023)
摘要
Ski touring is an emerging trend in the Alps, defined as ascending and descending a slope/backcountry with ski-touring equipment. The aim of this research is to understand risk-taking behavior, risk-avoidance behavior and assessed expertise (ascending/descending) of backcountry ski tourers. A cross-sectional survey design was chosen (N = 300). Results show that e.g. genderwise, the difference is statistically significant in terms of ‘I consciously expose myself to danger’ t(158) = 2.94, and e.g. skillwise, for ‘I check every piece of equipment before use’ t(152) = −2.98 – providing insights into the risk behavior of BCSTers in terms of gender and skills.
