Minden síelő, vagy a havas hegyekben kiránduló rémálma a lavina. Természetesen a szakemberek igyekeznek kiszűrni a potenciálisan veszélyes részeket, sőt, adott esetben be is avatkoznak a történésekbe, de sokszor még ez sem elég.
Az időjárás is nagyon sokat képes rontani a helyzeten, ahogyan most éppen az USA területén teszi. Az erős hidegbetörés, mely Kanadában -50 °C körüli hőmérsékleteket eredményez, az Egyesült Államok területére is benyomul, jelentős mennyiségű havat szállítva.
A hegyvidékeken pedig a hómennyiség fokozottan van jelen, ami remek hír a síelni, vagy más téli sportra vágyóknak. Csakhogy a veszély is megnő, ahogyan erre a szomorú adatok is rámutatnak.
Colorado Avalanche Információs Központ (CAIC) adatai alapján több, mint 100 éve nem volt olyan tragikus hét a hegyek életében, mint a január 30 és február 6 közti időszak. Ebben az egyetlen hétben 15 ember vesztette életét a kialakuló lavinákban, annak ellenére, hogy a heves havazások miatt a szakemberek is fokozott figyelmet fordítottak a veszélyes hótömegekre. És a havazás, a hidegbetörés csak fokozódik, vagyis a számok ennél rosszabbak is lehetnek az elkövetkező időszakban.
Jesus loved us so much, that he died for us. He took our place and all the punishment we deserved. By his wounds we are healed!! Today we remember and honor the death of our savior Jesus Christ!
