Comment on Skier narrowly avoids a crevasse
FishFace@piefed.social 6 days agoYeah 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).
Disclaimer: I’m no snow-scientist. But I grew up in the alps and I went ski-mountaineering a bunch of times.

To my understanding, crevasses form in ice, not snow. So if you are not skiing on a glacier or ice sheet, you won’t fall in one.
