A super capture Priska. I saw lots of these when I was in Switzerland.

How very interesting Priska, I had no idea, that there was such a thing - now I wonder, if it would really work? you know it reminds me somehow of a sort of weaponry, from an ancient war left behind, just like catapults ... ;-) BB

Very fine and excellent capture, Priska! Looked like lots of cross' at first glance. I'm a bit impressed if these really can hold tons of heavy snow back on the slope! :o)

We do need these here in Washington state...the Cascade Mountains are very prone to avalanche problems in the spring. Love your POV...that looks like at least a 45 degree slope.
