Winter can be very tricky without the experience...even with the proper skill: only few days ago the professor from my university - the expert with avalanches, had an accident just below where I shot the pano last year [ http://www.burger.si/QTVR/Vogel/Vogel_01.html ]. Huge avalange covered him and he got suffocated.
