Notes
Skiers in the SE bowl of Flanders triggered an avalanche from the bottom of the slope.
From Obs: "as he turned into the bowl, a remote triggered avalanche ripped out above him. He was fast to reach a safe position in the trees by the time the avalanche finished its ride. The photo shows the 3 ski tracks, and the most left one is what remote triggered above."
