  • Snowed Under? Stay Away From Avalanches! - If you've ever heard the terrifying rumbling of an avalanche you won't be surprised that avalanches can travel at speeds of up to 300 km per hour (almost 200 mph), measure up to 100 metres high (over 300 feet) and weigh millions of tonnes. In most cases, it is impossible to out ski them, outrun them, or even get away fast enough on a skimobile. Avalanches are so powerful that their velocity can tear trees from their roots, flatten buildings, and destroy anything in their path. What chance does a mere human on skis stand against such a force of nature? When we plan our skiing trips we take out travel insurance, pay a little extra for the winter sports coverage, and then tend to forget about the potential dangers of being in the mountains.
