AI Thread Summary
Unseasonably warm weather in March has caused vipers (Vipera Berus) to emerge from hibernation, leading to an increase in their presence on ski tracks. Skiers report encounters with these snakes, which can slither over skis when skiers pause. Concerns are growing about the safety of outdoor activities in areas where these snakes are now more active. Despite their beauty, the presence of vipers in recreational areas raises alarms about potential dangers for skiers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Vipers infesting ski-tracks!

The uncommon warmth this March has lured the vipers (Vipera Berus) out of their winter lairs, and they now infest our ski-tracks, wiggling over our skis if we stand still for just a second.
Our country is becoming dangerouser and dangerouser..:frown:

The vipers are pretty, and "Everybody's got to be somewhere."
