There\u2019s been some tragic incidents, and some shocking footage doing the rounds, recently<\/h2>\n

With the mountains currently out of reach for many of us, it\u2019s easy to forget just how powerful they can be. In your mind\u2019s eye, you can still clearly see the sheer sense of scale that made you fall in love with them in the first place. Some of the details though, well, they\u2019ve gone all misty haven\u2019t they?<\/p>\n

Here, to remind you of the frightening power of the mountains in winter, is some avalanche footage we\u2019ve seen recently. Give these clips a watch and immediately remember just how gnarly those big, rocky, hills covered in snow can be.<\/p>\n

\u201cSee this, instead, as a big neon sign above the mountains reminding you to stay safe\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We\u2019re not trying to put you off from exploring the backcountry, you understand. See this, instead, as a big neon sign above the mountains reminding you to stay safe the next time you\u2019re up there (whenever that is). Have fun of course, but always be aware of the risks. Make sure you\u2019re following avalanche safety guidelines and always, can\u2019t stress this enough, take your avalanche safety equipment with you.<\/p>\n

Just last week a 38-year old British man died in an avalanche in Verbier. This tragedy in Switzerland came after a string of deaths in the Alps in recent weeks. There\u2019s also been some alarming, fatal, avalanche incidents in Russia since the start of 2021.<\/p>\n
