The time for tough decisions is coming for the Colorado Avalanche.

The Colorado Avalanche got dragged into a defensive slog Wednesday night with the Los Angeles Kings, but having more world-class players than the other team works in those types of contests, too.

The Kings are on the final game of their two-game road trip after losing to the Calgary Flames on Monday night, 3-1. They will be in Colorado to face the Avalance in what should be a spirited bout. The Kings have not fared well against the Avalanche in their last ten matches, going 3-7-0. ...

Q: What time is it at Ball Arena right now? A: Four past Georgiev.

Nathan MacKinnon had his most productive night of the season to pull the Colorado Avalanche out of a funk, but the club's extraordinary injury crisis may have somehow reached a new level.

Avalanche fans can breathe a sigh of relief about Cale Makar.

Colorado authored one of its best performances of the season in the loss.

Alexandar Georgiev's best outing of the season came against the NHL's No. 1 team.

The Carolina Hurricanes had a weird travel schedule because of the weather and played their third-string goalie.

Justus Annunen leads all Finnish NHL goalies with a .918 save percentage since the start of last season.

Landeskog has not played since the 2021-22 season.

The Avs secured their second straight victory and returned to .500 on the season (8-8).

At least two people have died in separate avalanches in northern Italy on the first weekend Italians have been allowed to venture far afield after a two-month coronavirus lockdown. The Trento Alpine Rescue service said the body of one man was found late Saturday on the Folgaria plateau after an avalanche separated him from his dog. The pet was found unharmed. At the ski resort of Cortina, the body of a skier was found after a separate avalanche. His brother was rescued, the ANSA news agency said. Italian authorities closed ski lifts early on in Italy's lockdown and they remain closed, but skiers can still venture out on ungroomed, unmarked terrain.

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for inflating a chamber within an inflatable avalanche safety system. The method includes providing an inflatable avalanche safety system including an inflatable chamber; receiving a user-triggered action intended to activate the avalanche safety system; transmitting ambient air from an external region to within the inflatable chamber; and inflating the inflatable chamber entirely with the transmitted external ambient air to a particular internal pressure and shape configured to protect the user from burial during an avalanche. The transmission of ambient air within the inflatable chamber may be accomplished with a fan or an electrical component.

Superconducting nanowire avalanche photodetectors (SNAPs) have using meandering nanowires to detect incident photons. When a superconducting nanowire absorbs a photon, it switches from a superconducting state to a resistive state, producing a change in voltage that can be measured across the nanowire. A SNAP may include multiple nanowires in order to increase the fill factor of the SNAP's active area and the SNAP's detection efficiency. But using multiple meandering nanowires to achieve high fill-factor in SNAPs can lead to current crowding at bends in the nanowires. This current crowding degrades SNAP performance by decreasing the switching current, which the current at which the nanowire transitions from a superconducting state to a resistive state. Fortunately, staggering the bends in the nanowires reduces current crowding, increasing the nanowire switching current, which in turn increases the SNAP dynamic range.

KELLOGG, Idaho (AP) — An avalanche at an Idaho ski resort that killed three people last week was triggered by skiers, despite the efforts of the ski patrol to mitigate the danger, according to a preliminary investigation. The Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center said the ski patrol had taken steps on Jan. 7 to prevent avalanches […]

The Avalanche's two games against the Columbus Blue Jackets in Finland this fall have been postponed, the league said Friday. The 2020-21 NHL schedule has not been released but the Avs were slated to play the Blue Jackets twice in the 2020 Global Series at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki.

More people, many inexperienced, have been in the backcountry since the coronavirus outbreak shut down downhill skiing.

The Avalanche on Thursday signed impressive young goalie Justus Annunen to his three-year, entry-level contract.

Avalanche and Nuggets season-ticket holders have continued to be charged for future seats — despite widespread economic uncertainty during the coronavirus pandemic — with a lack of clear guidance provided by the Kroenke-owned sports teams.

Young goalie Justus Annunen might be that hard-to-find keeper, a guy who enjoys a 15-year NHL career mostly as the No. 1  guy.

Avalanche goalie Philipp Grubauer of Germany has remained in Denver during the NHL "pause" and says he has become an avid cyclist riding "about 100 miles per day," according to NHL.com.

A player on the Colorado Avalanche has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, making him the third NHL player known to have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The four NHL players known to have tested positive all faced the Kings at Staples Center in the last few days before the NHL suspended play March 12.

Kathmandu (AFP) May 1, 2020
A search team on Friday recovered the last remaining two bodies missing after a Himalayan avalanche in January buried four South Korean trekkers and three locals. A wall of snow hit the trekkers at about 3,200 metres (10,500 feet) near the Annapurna base camp in Nepal on January 17, covering them under metres of snow. Avalanches and more snowfall since then made it too dangerous to lau
