  Yeah I would avoid skiing in any area where there’s a possibility of crevasses forming without me being informed.

    Well, then good luck, finding that out.

      Do crevasses ever form on ski pistes when they’re open? I feel like most people are of a like mind with me.

        They can more or less spontaneously form on steep, snow-covered slopes. Pretty much impossible to predict, where they form (maybe you can guess, based on the weather, but I’d be quite a guess).

        Disclaimer: I’m no snow-scientist. But I grew up in the alps and I went ski-mountaineering a bunch of times.
