the spitting advice was given by experts in case of an avalanche... I think I'll go with the flow and see where my various body parts end upre: in case of an averlanch
Just in case anyone is worried.. there is a extremely low chance of an avalanche on piste within any resort. If the piste crew feel there is a chance of an avalanche, they will close the piste and fix the problem. However, going off piste obviously increases the chance of such accidents. The best bet is to have an acredited local guide accompany you, or to be well versed on the many safety tips and life saving techniques available on this subject.

I don't want to preach, and I appreciate why you added your comments Ryan, I thought I would add my peice in the off chance people were worried about the possibility of avalanches within Bulgarian resorts.

HiNot trying to scare anyone, but here are the facts:
If caught in an avalanche there is a 50% chance youl be buried.
9 out of ten people survive an avalanche if found in 15 minutes.
5 out of 10 survive if found in 30 minutes.
But after 35 minutes, only 1 in 3 survive.
So if going off-piste, take a transciever, probe and shovel! and a guide.
