I'm not sure what it is, but every time I see simulated snow there's just something wrong about it. My brain just instinctively tells me "that's not snow" and suggests sand or something else. There's a definite uncanny valley effect for snow


It’s crazy how dangerous avalanches are to off-piste skiers. Living at a ski town in the Alps, the causality list is almost like living in a war zone. The better the conditions are, the more dangerous it gets - it’s a killer dynamic.
