Mammoth avalanches in Italy and France this week

Two days, two avalanches, both rated 4 out of 5 on the avalanche scale. Translated? These slides were deadly and they covered two ski towns in powder clouds. So it’s a miracle no one died.

With a dry start to the season followed by some heavy storms these avalanches were just waiting to happen.

This happened in France in the town of Bessans.

Avalanche à Bessans

Then this happened in Cervinia.
