Get the Gear, and the Knowledge
Unfortunately, off piste riding is intrinsically dangerous and there’s never any way to completely see off the risk, but you can take steps to significantly reduce it.
If you’re remotely serious about riding powder you should have a transceiver plus a pack with a shovel and probe on you every time you go up, no excuses.
But more importantly you should know how to use them, preferably through proper avalanche training and plenty of practice. Ignorance is bliss, but actually knowing what you’re doing allows you to know the dangers and minimise them, which in turn lets you feel a lot safer and get on with having some fun.
