Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Heliskiers trigger lethal avalanche in New Zealand

Poster: A snowHead

An avalanche on New Zealand's South Island buried three heliskiers today, killing one. Their mountain guides rescued the other two. New Zealand's mountain safety council have said that the avalanche was triggered by the skiing group itself.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Very unusual for a guided party to have this kind of event in NZ. The guiding company involved is long established and very experienced. The guy that died was rescued quickly (about six minutes) but they were unable to resuscitate him. Definitely some instability in the backcountry at the moment. Two ski patrollers caught in an avalanche in the Remarkables area late last week. http://www.odt.co.nz/southern-snow/latest-skifield-news/66827/avalanche-warning-skier-dies Lucky that both were uninjured. A group of three triggered in an avalanche outside the Remarkables area boundary on Saturday http://www.odt.co.nz/southern-snow/latest-skifield-news/66990/boarder-has-ride-life-outrunning-avalanche
Very lucky as it was a quite a big slide and the debris ended up in lake Alta after breaking through the one metre ice cover. Could have been avalanched, smashed into the ice then drowned.
