Can you imagine heading out for a day of fun and then, THIS??[/quote]

What is an "accidental" avalanche? [/quote]

Versus a deliberately triggered avalanche. [/quote]

But this was just an avalanche. It wasn't an "accidental avalanche." Shit just happens. There was no need whatsoever for the weird modifier. [/quote]

That makes it accidental vs avalanches that are triggered using techniques such as explosives to make skiiing areas more safe. [/quote]

+1. The fact that some posters don’t even know this occurs explains so much about some of the commentary. [/quote]

When skiers trigger an avalanche, that's not just accidental. [/quote]

Exactly. The women triggered the avalanche.

Definitely not the conditions ripe for avalanches. [/quote]

"Accidentally" means, by definition, unexpectedly or unintentionally. Is English your first language?[/quote]

This avalanche wasn't unexpected. What are you talking about? There were avalanche warnings and predictions. So, exactly the opposite of an accident.[/quote]

If that avalanche wasn't unexpected, why did the expert guides lead their clients through there?  It was either accidental or negligence. [/quote]

But they were highly intelligent, experienced back country skiers, right? They made the choice to go on a ski trip when extreme weather conditions and chance of svalanches had been predicted for a week. Or they weren't smart and experienced enough to look at weather reports? Which is it? [/quote]

Clearly the guides' decisionmaking was lacking. [/quote]

What about the decision making of the skiers who embarked on the trip? [/quote]

Read the NYT article. The guides told them they had to leave in a hurry. There wasn’t room for a discussion. [/quote]

The decision-making to take this trip befire they left home despite a week's warning of predicted severe weather and very heavy snowfall. [/quote]

So what’s your point? That you’re smarter than these people? Good for you, I guess, if that’s what you need to feel better about yourself. [/quote]

Some people get off on being a sanctimonious, judgmental cnt.

[/quote]

Aren’t you the one crying about misogyny in here? You really have an interesting way with words and expressing yourself. Too bad nobody takes orders from you or cares.[/quote]

DP here. There are a number of posters here that have called out the misogyny in this thread. [/quote]

Not allowed to criricize women. [/quote]

It’s paternalism. Gross.[/quote]
