During the training week for the prospective Tyrolean mountain guides, the group first goes through the correct behavior when crossing old snow fields and the correct braking when sliding, and then simulates this live.
The "busy weekly schedule" devotes a lot of time to sharing experiences. Snowline spikes are a good preventative measure.
Snowline Spikes are not fully functional crampons, but they only weigh about 170 - 200 grams per pair and are therefore a highly recommended part of any hiker's equipment and should be in your backpack from October to May.
