Yeah I would avoid skiing in any area where there’s a possibility of crevasses forming without me being informed.

Well, then good luck, finding that out.

Do crevasses ever form on ski pistes when they’re open? I feel like most people are of a like mind with me.

They can more or less spontaneously form on steep, snow-covered slopes. Pretty much impossible to predict, where they form (maybe you can guess, based on the weather, but I’d be quite a guess).
