we've got a deeply buried, what we call persistent weakness in the snowpack. So, down a metre to a metre and a half, maybe two metres in some places, there's a weakness in the snowpack. And if you hit the sweet spot, you could trigger a very, very large and destructive avalanche. And your chances of surviving it could be very low

"The deaths bring the toll to 10 people killed by avalanches in the province this season. "

"Anyone opting to travel in the backcountry must be experienced, have avalanche training, and be making conservative decisions on where to go."

人生其实可短暂了，眼睛一闭一睁，一场雪过去了，眼睛一闭不睁，一辈子雪都过去了。这个滑雪其实和吃饭一样样的，有人啃羊腿能够啃的嘴抽筋抽死，有人看着羊腿哈喇子流到脱水而死，有人肉包子吃到撑死，有人眼馋的只能吧唧嘴到郁闷死，反正都是死，看你想咋死？
