    In Switzerland we sometime trigger them with small explosives. It’s best to Traeger a small avalanche before it grows into a monster.

    Very scary situation. The structure below that snow was well hidden.

    hes cutting the snow here. He was meant to trigger the avalanche but i dont think he expected it to start up above him aswell or for it to be that big. But you dont ride sideways along a mountain you ride down so he was cutting the snow.

    Just as likely the sonic vibrations from the close-in helicopter rotors triggered the slippage. Probably the combination of skier and helicopter.
