a slope is unstable and ski is could trigger an avalanche shift attention those of you who it came to skull mountain thinks please be careful but some avalanches a wet others a dry it all depends on the snows composition the speed of avalanches varies between seventy and four hundred kilometers an hour man can do nothing and face of tons of snow rushing down to such a velocity. and yes people do live in the mountains they study avalanches to be able to protect themselves from ages skiers and snowboarders tempt fate by taking to the mountain slopes. in the in this weather station in the q.b. massive is situated close to the town of one hundred fifty kilometers north of the arctic circle it is one of the instruments of the avalanche safety service it

records dozens of readings several times a day snow and ground temperatures wind direction solar activity and precipitation all those factors affect the snow and its structure the station staff uses them as the basis for pullin recall casts concerning avalanches. what triggers a sudden movement of snow in the mountains resulting in a formidable natural disaster. finding the answer to that question is the job of scientists to some peaches bugs hisor meteorological university one of the factors triggering an avalanche is nothing more unusual than snow evaporation little flakes turn into vapor even at very low temperatures. but recorded in the chalk layer of the snow buddy escapes into the year. but in low layers it settles on large snowflakes and turns into was. really as

a result snow in the lowest layer turns into large ground crystals. this makes the top most slide over the ground pellets. the only way to find out the lunches is to get them to move before they begin sliding down the road whenever a weather forecast points to snow instability avalanches a set off to prevent the risk of a larger one occurring before the roads are blocked ski routes are closed and the area is cordoned off a modern computer system controls of a large movement gas is fed into a bell suspended from a helicopter an operator then triggers a spark in the belt on the gas explodes the shock wave triggers an avalanche.

this method is widely used in the foothills of the caucasus close to the city of sochi russia's most popular ski resort is situated here. is in the world are prone to avalanches and all of them are affected by our lunches every single one. yes the slope is avalanche prone if it is steeper than fifteen to twenty degrees. the two thousand and fourteen winter olympics is to take place here in new ski lifts are being built a modern trails are being prepared the downhill routes varying complexity some are just right for budding skiers others pose a challenge to professional sportsman. the caucasus mountains occupy an area about the same size of an average european country. provided with all the necessary

facilities take up a small part of the slopes so far it is only possible to reach most of the mountain tops by helicopter going downhill where nobody. his set foot is the ambition of many skiers and snowboarders there is a special term for this costly form of entertainment tele skiing. to get their wish her well being is what every free rider aspies see it just takes your breath away to ride down the slope after a helicopter that draws you to some out of the way not in the mountains.

as. once we left the helicopter we have to test the snow. so what this means is well we make a pick to see the pattern of snow fall in the last few weeks. if we see that there's a danger of an avalanche happening that day and we just pack up straightaway and go home when a situation is just right though we follow this route down a mountain. or the wilds of the ridge the better the snow sure you have so many different routes lying ahead of you so you can choose whichever way you want to go down the mountain bending on a level of skiing your experience in english is how good you are. studying and forecasting avalanches is a complicated process with many phases any forecast supplied by the weather station can never be certain accurate conclusions are made only after testing the snow

cover at a particular point. with their one layer of the snow is compact the other is loose you can see it is fluffy. but you see if i touch this with my finger it is almost uniform i'm going to see how thick it is and there's twenty five centimeters of snow drift. snow drift is the layer that moves with the wind from one location to another this type of snow has the weakest bond with the lower layers. but when somebody comes to the slope they see such snow but they don't know what it is like underneath it maybe packed in a mack case it is not dangerous a lot of it is unstable down there you just step on the snow and it slides away from you if the snows temperature structure and density are all measured by the specialists to see how the layers bonded together they handle the readings right on the spot. the test demonstrates that the top

layer of the snow drift on the slope is unstable so it may start sliding and ski is or snowboards right over it which could then trigger an avalanche so now we're going to designate the area as has a list and closed to the public attention of those of you who are keen to scale mountain peaks please be careful according to the avalanche safety center a heightened alert has been declared for the next two days because of an avalanche hazard. or is a ski resort within the arctic circle originally it was meant as a place where the people of the town of killed lost spend their vacations today tourists from across the country come to visit. and we were going there for ten days but trouble struck on the second. memories of what happened then are so vivid in young's mind that it seems as though it were just yesterday but in fact several years have passed since the accident in

many ways that incident changed his life. if you look at the slope from below you will see a clearing between the trees and it is there because frequent avalanches sweep away trees standing in their path i did not know at the time that the slope was avalanche prone. none of the people who came to that slope could even imagine the outcome. free riders make a special point of looking for wild slopes to ride over version snow. for the past ten years you have guinea cliff a cove has taken groups of free riders from the city of your coast to the my my

past on the southern shore of lake baikal. the lake in the air could screech in is the world's largest body of fresh water locals call it to see it is fifteen hundred meters deep in place it's. will cover part of the distance over the ice of lake baikal then it will be several kilometers of a winding path in the mountains another ten kilometers along a stream goal which. you could say the place is in the. wilderness there isn't any electricity or a decent road that can only be reached either by snowmobile or on foot. on the way to its destination the group registers with the local rescue service. with. an official of the service and rescue party takes note of its roots the number of people involved and approximate dates of the group's return if the group

fails to turn up on time presti teams will undergo a search and rescue operation like all other groups of this kind this one is briefed before it continues its journey. i wish to formally warn you of possible avalanches in the mountains you should be on alert especially after lunchtime when warmer weather normally causes snow falls also a storm alert has been declared for tomorrow north westerly winds of up to twenty meters a second. a member of the rescue services joins the clavichord group they go as far as the foothills where the road ends they then cover ten kilometers across low hills with an all terrain vehicle before taking a ride from the slope of the group needs to hike up hill on force as no motor vehicles can get up such an implied.

heading towards slopes hidden from the sun because that's where pax knows likely to be. he may begin moving any time now that's why i will go skiing on the shady side close to the forests the snow still holds on board a pretty good. despite the long hole the group of free riders managed to scale the mountain and go downhill on the first day before some so.

touches that so much i was about the feeling that i was in the only of a real and rightful boris yeltsin was he a great man who made history or was he merely a product of his time opinions differ widely don't know when to. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of europe and the shadow is an approaching a whole different. leave early twenty first century military

bases the network of military bases all around the forms to believe empire that the united states is trying to get its astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around. we don't have falling bases of america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in our bases are flocking here or the noise is wrong and often doesn't bother us at all because they're all bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for them speed. since the end of world war two the spaces i've been. working here to provide safe and secure environment for everybody.

the questions the appeals to get everything you needed. the peninsula within the arctic circle is russia's northernmost point a group of sportsman skiing in the mountains has been hit by an avalanche rescue is a big regional rescue services receive request for assistance they do not know how long it will take them to reach the scene a lot depends on distance but the rain and weather conditions they have vivid memories of what happened to a group of skiers from st petersburg a few years ago. which is one of those who know all too well the full force of an avalanche feels like. with blue as they approach the edge to get ready for the

descent well i mean yes i was knocked over with such force from my gloves and hat in the shuttle and everything became unfastened. i sensed i was tumbling down at top speed with an enormous mass of something pressing on me it was like being under a stamping press i cannot say how long all that lasted when i was told the avalanche was on the move for only four or five seconds but to me it seemed like an eternity was enormous blocks of snow and ice reduce everything in their path to smithereens they sweep away trees and destroy buildings of one point i felt as if i was literally bending over backwards with the stress on my spine was so great i thought my back would be broken. and my head was out of the snow. i think my lungs and filled up with snow and i strained to cough it up i remember

feeling afterwards that my chest had become lighter to sit. yann was dug up by a companion who had not been caught up in the avalanche rescuers found three more men buried under the snow they were dead quite often it takes several days to find victims buried in an avalanche for me to long proops they used to take into the snow this is the only method to find a free rider unless he has a radio beacon on it. when the probe hits something soft it's clear there is a victim sound produced by the probe in that case is also helpful so we begin digging right there and then fairly sure is a doctor with a local rescue team he always joins the team on duty when they go to help avalanche victims is a kilogram kit contains all the necessary equipment for on site reanimation though in practice he rarely needs it people according to statistics if victims are stuck

in an avalanche to fifteen minutes their chances of survival of fifty percent any longer and there is a sharp drop in the chances of survival. we haven't recovered a buried survivor from an avalanche around here in the past ten years. intense preparations for the winter olympics have cut the number of burgeon slopes in the vicinity of available for free riding results rescuers will be hard to recall the last time they dealt with avalanche related incidents. and ten eyes to counter the snow on the mountain slopes they are the visible part of what is otherwise covered with snow these are ultimately weather stations days or is continuously surprised when online computer of the resorts government controls. the station measures snow depth temperature humidity we characteristics solar radiation. and this very question with this and more allowance to

forecast avalanches put you in the pool with you know. these old looking pipes on mountaintops are part of the results of a lunch safety system. failing to so-called shelters booths containing cast cylinders with oxygen and propane. torch ok everything's in order here for shelter oxygen and frank pain is fed to an empty avalanche come from special pipes and operators sets off the gas mixture by pressing a button. in the old days all resorts use guns or mortars to fight avalanches they would be brought to a slope and fired at a designated target nowadays there gradually falling into disuse. we have resolved the problem by taking on purely ecological systems used elsewhere

in the world. they don't damage the ground either in summer or in winter. they simply remove the snow whenever we want to get rid of it or get out on the. a computer at the avalanche control service receives signal from automatic weather stations twenty four hours a day a respect of a weather conditions the figures are then analyzed. if necessary the operator uses the same computer to set a small allergan motion which cannot do any harm. which as we say any slip can pose an avalanche has a way. avalanches make even the most unlikely places. police skiing enthusiastic every possible precaution but they can never be fully guaranteed against being caught in an avalanche.

of them is that when you get on the fresh snow it's already under stress but you make things worse by adding your weight to it on top of venison you cutting the snow with your skis and all my combined myself an avalanche. normally the guide will do the job himself of testing the snow and if he senses the possibility of an avalanche he might deliberately force the snow to get moving. if the if you cut into the snow in front of me that doesn't mean it won't snap behind you is true it'll first break up front little crack behind you to you no matter whether you've done the counting or somebody else has done it for you if you have an idea the. scientists and some petersburg have researched the peculiarities of the mountains ice and snow there is also surprising as it turns out an ice rupture generates a radio wave the can be located. i mean the most interesting thing about it

is that radio frequency emissions take place shortly before i was sharing. this means it's possible to forecast as well as record our shearing. this can be done if only for a short time before just to now. you know. experiments for the snow by the scientists have also demonstrated that during its stride an avalanche to emits radio waves. she is unable to study radio missions are generated by a small snow crystals rubbing against one another using is there reason evidence pointing to the existence of radio frequency radiation even in a visible range people seeing light coming from not time avalanches. for the time being it is possible to forecast avalanches only a few seconds ahead special radio receivers they use for the purpose. of mountain on my on the southern side of lake baikal is known for its fluffy snow

it is light soft compound eric freeriding fans need to demonstrate highly professional skills in such conditions otherwise one uncertain move may land you waist deep in the snow along the untamed slopes of fruit for the numerous risks for the novice. but. there you can see a large area covered with snow there were lots of trees there five years ago or so you go to a big avalanche in december swept away everything in its way. places a constant reminder of the threat posed by avalanches like what this.

free riders from neighboring towns have built cabins in the foothills of mt. they spend weekends here there is nothing inside apart from stoves tables and makeshift beds the cabins are almost buried in snow which makes them look like big snow drifts with smoke and chimneys before they get to the mountaintop free riders spend a good deal of time scrambling along with skis or boards on their backs yes you may not like it here before you enjoy sliding down hill as you're unlikely to enjoy going uphill on foot completely nor are you likely to be very keen to stoke the coals in the stove even during the night here you can't leave without wearing snowshoes to cope with it you really need to love it all this landscape this forest this weather and this permanent snow fall.
