Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the risks associated with avalanche incidents in China's emerging high-quality ski resorts, particularly focusing on the recent avalanche at the He Mu Ji Ke Pu Lin ski resort, highlighting the need for awareness and safety measures in the skiing community [1]. Group 1: Avalanche Risks in Skiing - The He Mu Ji Ke Pu Lin ski resort, characterized by its significant vertical drop and natural snowfall, represents a new type of ski area in China, known as "big mountain" ski resorts, which are typically found in established international locations [2]. - Avalanches are more likely to occur on slopes with angles between 27 and 40 degrees, which are favored by advanced skiers and are common in high-end ski resorts [2]. - Increased human activity in mountainous areas, such as skiing, raises the risk of triggering avalanches due to disturbances [2]. Group 2: Safety Regulations and Practices - Skiers must adhere to safety guidelines, including avoiding avalanche risk zones and possessing adequate skills and emergency equipment when skiing outside designated areas [4]. - The incident at the He Mu Ji Ke Pu Lin ski resort was exacerbated by skiers entering restricted areas and lacking necessary avalanche safety equipment, which complicated rescue efforts [4][6]. - There is a significant gap between existing safety regulations and the actual practices of skiers, with many lacking the necessary preparation and knowledge to navigate high-risk areas safely [5][6]. Group 3: Cultural and Educational Aspects - The culture surrounding skiing in China often encourages risky behavior, with social media amplifying the allure of skiing in dangerous areas, necessitating a shift towards responsible skiing practices through education [7][8]. - Training programs aimed at increasing avalanche awareness and safety skills are being developed, with some individuals already receiving professional training to enhance public knowledge about avalanche safety [8]. - The establishment of a responsible skiing culture is essential to mitigate risks, emphasizing the importance of education and community engagement in promoting safe skiing practices [8]. Group 4: Avalanche Control Measures - Improving avalanche control capabilities is crucial for ski resorts to balance skier demand with safety, particularly in areas prone to heavy snowfall [9][10]. - Current methods for avalanche risk management at the He Mu Ji Ke Pu Lin resort rely heavily on manual triggering of avalanches, which is inefficient and dangerous [10]. - Experts advocate for the implementation of advanced monitoring and rapid response systems for avalanche prediction and management, similar to those in established ski regions in North America [11][12].
