the top layer snow drifts on a slope is unstable and ski is could trigger an avalanche shift change from those of you who are keen to scull mildly thanks 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 in the face of tons of snow rushing down to such a velocity. and yet people do live in the mountains they study avalanches to be able to protect themselves from h.g.'s skiers and snowboarders tempt fate by taking to the mountain slopes. in this weather station in the q.b. massive a situation close to the town of killer of one hundred fifty kilometers north of

the arctic circle 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 pursue potations all those factors affect the snow and its structure the station staff uses them as the basis for political reform 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 petersburg's hydra me to relaunch a cool 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 with fiber in the top layer of the snow body escapes into the year our youth. but in low light as it settles on live snowflakes and turns into us

. as a result snow in the lowest layer turns into large brown crystals. it's just makes the top most last slide over the ground pellets. the only way to fight avalanches is to get them to move before they begin sliding down the road whenever a weather forecast points to snow instability avalanches or sets off to prevent the risk of a larger one occurring before the roads are blocked scheme routes are closed and the area was cordoned off a modern computer system controls avalanche movement gasses fed into a bell suspended from a helicopter an operator then triggers a spark in the belt on the gas explodes the shockwave 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 a situation here. water port all mountains in the world are prone to avalanches and all of them are affected by our lunch and 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 and more than trails are being prepared the downhill routes varying complexity some are just right for budding skiis others pose a challenge to professional sportsman. the caucasus mountains off the pine area

about the say. i'm size of an average european country roots 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 has set foot is the ambition of many skiers and snowboarders there is a special term for this costly form of entertainment kelly skiing. at their wish well east game is what every free rider aspires to it just takes your breath away to ride down the slope after a helicopter. flies you to some out of the way knock in the mountains.

once we've left the helicopter we have to test the snow. so what this means is well we make it picks 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 then we just pack up straightaway and go home when the situation is just right though we follow this route down the mountain. or the wilds of the route 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 pending on the level of skiing you're experiencing is how good you are. studying and forecasting avalanches is a complicated process with many phases any forecasts up. by the weather station can

never be certain accurate conclusions are made only after testing the snow cover at a particular point. 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. a 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 may be packed and i'm a case it is not dangerous if it is unstable down there you just step on the snow and it slides away from you if the snow's temperature structure and density are all measured by the specialists to see how the layers point to gether 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 hazardous 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. motion video 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 could 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 but 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 as it is 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 virgin snow.

for the past ten years yevgeny clipper cough has taken groups of free riders on the city of your coast to the mom i passed on the southern shore of lake baikal. the lake to me it puts region is the world's largest body of fresh water locals call it a c. it is fifteen hundred meters deep in place it's. important will cover part of the distance of the ice of lake baikal then it will be several kilometers of a winding path in the mountains another ten kilometers along a stream go which. you could say the place is in the. wilderness there isn't any electricity or a decent road there it can only be reached on the by snowmobile or on foot. on the way to its destination the group registers with the local rescue service.

an official of the service and rescue party takes note of its roots the number of people involved and approximate date of the group's return if the group fails to turn up on time rescue 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 click of the 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 but before taking a ride from the slope the group needs to hike uphill on force as no motor vehicles

can get up such an incline. but. we're heading towards slopes hidden from the sun because that's where pax knows likely to be only he may begin moving any time now that's why i will go skiing on the shady side close to the forest the snow still holds on bush. despite the long hole the group of free rides has managed to scale the mountain and go downhill on the first day and for some so.

know how long it will take them to reach the scene a lot depends on distance the terrain and weather conditions they have vivid memories of what happened to a group of skiers from some pages but a few years ago. is one of those who know all too well the full force of an avalanche feels like. as i approach the edge to get ready for the descent. i mean yes i was knocked over with such force from my clothes and happened 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 reports cannot say how long all that lasted 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 at 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. then my head was out of the snow. i think my lungs had filled up with snow and i strained to cough it up i remember feeling afterwards that my chest have become lighter as it. 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 i 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 appropriate something soft it's clear there is a victim a sound produced by the probe in that case is also helpful so we begin thinking

right there and then felix eva sure is a doctor with the 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 if we're going to statistics if victims are stuck in an avalanche her fifteen minutes their chances of survival a fifty percent any longer and there is a sharp drop in the chances of survival here but we haven't recovered a buried survivor from an avalanche around here in the past ten years. in terms preparations for the winter olympics of cut the number of burgeon slopes in the vicinity of such a label the free riding results rescuers will be hard to recall the last time they dealt with avalanche related incidents. and ten i stick out of the snow on the

mountain slopes they are the visible part of what is otherwise covered with snow these are automatic weather stations taser is continuously supplied to an online computer of the resort's government controls. the station measures snow depth temperature humidity wind characteristics solar radiation. and it's very precious to lease and more allowance to forecast avalanches quickly with. these odd looking pipes on mountaintops a part of the results of the safety system. failing to so-called shelters booths containing gas cylinders with oxygen and propane. but. more should know kay everything's in order here from a shelter oxygen propane 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 fire to designate a target nowadays there grandcolas falling into deceives. the way 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. a computer at the avalanche control service receive signals from automatic weather stations twenty four hours a day irrespective of weather conditions the figures are then analyzed. if necessary the operator uses the same computer to set a small avalanche in motion which cannot do any harm. or

as we say any slip compose an avalanche hazard. avalanches maker or even in the most unlikely places. police skiing enthusiastic take every possible precaution that they can never be fully guaranteed against being caught an avalanche. and the thing that 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 that as 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 his trudel first break up front by little

crank behind you to you no matter whether you've done the counting or somebody else has done it for ya. all. the scientists and some pages furcal research the peculiarities of the mountains ice and snow there is also surprising as it turns out an ice rupture generates a radio wave the complete. 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 full cost as well as record are sharing. this can be done if only for a short time before just an hour or so you. experiments for the snow by the scientists have also demonstrated that during its slide an avalanche two emits radio waves. smears native radio missions are generated by a small snow crystals rubbing against one another is there

a resemblance pointing to the existence of radio frequency radiation even in a visible range they will have seen light coming from night 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. mounted on my on the southern side of lake baikal is known for its fluffy snow is light soft and powdery 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.

there you can see a large area covered with snow there were lots of trees there five years ago to go to a big avalanche in december swept away everything in its way. places a constant reminder of the threat posed by avalanches. free riders from neighboring towns have built cabins in the foothills of mt the money 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 chimneys before they get to the mountain top free riders spend a good deal of time scrambling along with skis on their backs. yes you may not like

it here if all you enjoy is sliding downhill you're unlikely to enjoy going uphill on foot completely nor 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 is forest it's weather and there's permanent snow fall.
