    Saluti dall'Italia. Bravi, ma con molta neve le cose cambiano. Ho visto persone saltare giù dall'elicottero in neve fresca, e rimanere impiantati per il peso dell'attrezzatura e dell'armamento. Se vi capita di lanciarvi con molta neve fate attenzione oppure avrete bisogno di qualcuno che viene a tirarvi fuori. Altius Tendo.

    What is the standard for the avalanche rescue test? The professional avalanche standard in North America is to locate and fully extricate 2 targets (typically snow-filled packs), buried at least 0.5m deep, in a 50x50m search area, in less than 7 minutes. Curious if the Italian army uses the same standard. It appeared that the instructor stopped the clock at a probe strike vs after extricating the target.

    The parachutist is the wrong kind of soldier for mountaineering training, I hate to say. His operational planners will just want to helicopter him to altitude, and any climber knows this is a bad move. The Alpini are providing what seems to be the best ski mountaineering training I've seen - do this with other infantry.
