Have just spent some time reading up on the big avalanche incident in Tyrol last week. Looking at the route, and the conditions on the day, I have no idea why they thought it might be safe. Even more perplexing is that they were with a mountain guide. Maybe I'm missing something, and of course I could be, but the info that is available is not pointing towards unavoidable freak accident.
