What is important to observe on a high altitude ski tour?

As the conditions in the high altitude areas can sometimes be very different to those at low altitude, it is particularly important to listen to the weather forecast and to know what the avalanche situation is like! The material and clothing must also be suited to the demands and profile of the tour: is it ascent or descent orientated, will it last several days?
