*What, ‘**better’ ?? Have you been in an avalanche?!? @GLTY 9:47am Broken bones; severed arteries; internal organs irreparably damaged; grasping at overwhelming weight; heaving dirt, debris and snow from your airways; gasping for your last breathe as you suffocate to death. - Good Luck to You*, then.

Heavy snowfall on Saturday and warm sunny weather on Sunday - a recipe for avalanches. Norikura had been on our list of skiing and boarding places to try at some point in the future. I'd like to learn more about whether these persons were off-piste or in a groomed gerende area.
