"This slab was triggered by someone who was buried and found quickly thanks to a hand sticking out of the debris (so the stories go)."In Sum, we have some great snow out there especially where the wind has blown the snow - and this is where some instability may be on steep slopes. So KEEP THINKING out there! Plaque déclenchée par un skieur. Bien qu'enfoui, il faut rapidement localisé et dégagé grâce à sa main qui dépassait de la neige.Voir description et commentaires sur le site d'Henry Schniewind ("lien vers une description, en anglais")
