survival under the avalanche:
1 backcountry skier alone:
to "escape" from the strong and cold winds, moves to a SW slope and triggers the single slab in an area poor in snow. The blocks are very compact: a lot of air available and is well dressed (was descending), protected from the wind and the cold.
Found alive (slightly injured) after 4 hours and 5 minutes
