Abstract: Accidents in backcountry skiing, such as getting caught in avalanche are partly due to bad decision-making during climbing or descending. Currently, technical systems that support the decisionmaking process during skiing are not available. Our research is aiming to change this. We are working on a project that is analyzing the psychological aspects important for aiding decision-making in the dynamic setting of backcountry skiing. Qualitative methods are used to investigate decision-making during skiing. Adequate persuasive messages are currently developed and tested in a VR- study. The messages with the highest efficiency and a high acceptance rating will be tested in a field study.
