Incomprehensible!

With this choice of track, every guardian angel must have pitched in to make sure no avalanche was released. All the conditions for triggering an avalanche that were mentioned in the avalanche bulletin were present! The track lay exactly in the elevation band that had been specifically highlighted, and the same applies to the steepness of the terrain and the slope aspect. The track also crosses several transitions from little to a lot of snow. In addition, the terrain directly below the track is extremely steep, i.e. over 40°

When you observe the way people go ski touring today, you really wonder why "so little" happens.
