Snowflakes, on their own, won’t harm you, but once they gang up - look out!

Being buried alive isnt fun. Head for the tree line if you hear an avalanche. You cant outski it.

Three avalanches reported so far today. What is it with the day after Christmas and these disasters?

This is horrible...prayers for all involved. However, I thought global warming had melted all the alps snow? Havent the ski resorts been closed for years because of balmy weather? /s

You would think there would be some kind of Avalanche Warning System in place.

If it was on a resort run, then the resort was not doing avalanche control. Usually, they will use explosives early in the morning before the resort opens.

December 26, 2004. The worst natural disaster in modern recorded history.

I’ve watched so many documentaries on YouTube about it. I still can’t even imagine it.

Yep. Saw many avalanches (on the news) when living in Colorado. They would trigger them before the resorts opened.

Oh...I sincerely hope he will not encounter any problem or difficulties in Switzerland and instead return home to America with a treasure trove full of good spirits and happy memories :-)
