That's why I wasn't very concerned, that can't happen in this slope. The avalanche defences above prevent it and flat section below control the extent. It's what makes that slope such a good bad weather option along with the trees lower down for better visibility. There's lots of small rocks though which are a real hazard if you're not careful. Some of my favourite skiing in the area.

You alway`s seam to be up to your ear`s in snow ise :lol: but it just goes to show that someone less experienced than your self could get into a lot of trouble.
Glad your safe and uninjured.

I know lots of people that are well schooled in looking left and right when crossing the road, a few unfortunately have been caught out.

Seriously though, the perceived risk is a whole lot different to the actual risk. Chances are seriously slim if you are careful.

Very true. I'll have to book some powder lessons next time I'm away and give it a go - you only live once, so might as well make the most of it :D

Lynn_D, got on you, I advise not typing 'avalanche from hell' in to youtube.

So, guess what I'm going to do now.... (Curiosity always gets the better of me) :D

this is a slightly bigger one, triggered by the pisteurs yesterday. I was trying to take a photo of it and fat-fingered the camera into video by mistake



does that work?

ise my system can't find the suitable plug-in to install which will enable your video to play :(
