Why has there been an increase in avalanche deaths in the French Alps? | BBC News


Rescue teams in the French Alps have told the BBC that unusual snow patterns – in addition to people not taking enough precautions – are to blame for an increase in avalanche deaths.

This ski season, at least 100 people have been killed across the mountainous region, which is a steep increase from previous years.

Off-piste skiers are thought to make up most of the casualties.

BBC correspondent James Waterhouse joined search crews in Val Thoren during what’s become a challenging period for them.
