For anyone feeling complacent about the avalanche risk over the back at Nevis Range - some footage of a skier getting slid down Easy Gully. Its not great footage but turn the volume up and you can see the slope go just as they jump into their 2nd turn at which point I move quickly to try to keep sight of them and then go straight in afterwards to start searching (you can see the smallish crown wall on my way past it halfway down the gully)... scary biscuits!
