ANOTHER AVALANCHE DEATH

  21 February 2000

People die in avalanches every year in the mountains.  Don't let it be you.

- You are most at risk just after a snowfall
- The more snow that fell the greater the risk
- How much sun has your slope received today?
- Never go off-piste alone
- Use transceivers
- Go one person at a time
- Never traverse above other skiers/riders
- Go down the edges of bowls and not down the middle


We all love the fresh - but some risks are not worth taking.
