[1] Despite their clear danger to humans, snow avalanches are hard to document. They occur in inaccessible and dangerous locations, often at times of bad weather. Observation instruments frequently malfunction in the harsh conditions or are destroyed... Read More about Air pressure data from the Vallée de la Sionne avalanches of 2004..
