    Seems like all clear, emergency services reckon no one was caught.

    So far just the girl in Arosa has died. And slf downgraded it to a three in the north because the thick new snowpack covers the deep instability.

    Not in Graubünden and Valais though. We'll see.

    Christmas miracle indeed. 7 riders got caught, four of them partially buried, one slightly injured. Got themselves out before mountain rescue arrived. 100 s&r/emergency people and 3 choppers involved.

    So my local hill has managed to increase its guest numbers without expenses such as lift infrastructure, increased terrain offerings, etc. What fucking business model, it’s like picking pockets.

    I'm surprised there's not been more to be honest. A good snowfall around big tourist weeks usually = some teenage tradagies also

    Honest question: Is it price gouging or is it about trying to keep the ski area’s business afloat?

    the comments are just the cherry on top. But yeah 7 people in one slide..... but i guess otherwise you dont get first tracks on the nordkette. my biggest fear in engelberg, getting an avy on my head with 10 swedes in it while im in one of the exit couloirs of the laub....

    What are the best comments?

    There is a toxic mix of adrenaline, fomo and testosterone in the first bin when it is bluebird.

    Ah...you know. I mean there is enough to criticize but you only get The usual..."make them pay for the rescue", "forbid everything" and, my favourite, "why did they go on a south face with that deep instability".

    Pretending to be an expert by revealing your gross lack of knowledge has a special place in my heart.

    That’s the full report. Two separate groups. (2/4)
    First group descents. Second group regroups after first pitch. Avalanche - 2 skiers shoot away. Two get caught.

    It was a locals only first gondjola. Luckily all the school kids decided to sleep in on the 25th.
    Average age was between 30-40years.
    All nordkette veterans. I know most of them more or less.
