But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
Maybe if they used dynamite during the middle of the night on the slopes when the slopes are closed they could have prevented this because it would have prematurely started the avalanche, and they could have then groomed down the snow. As for the ski lift.....It should have been higher off the ground, and been built to able to withstand the force of an avalanche. When I was on Colorado you could hear them using dynamite up on the slopes in the middle of the night to prematurely start avalanches so they don't happen when people are actually on the mountain slopes.

Always scared something is going to happen on the chair lift. *More like one of the chairs falling off or something not an avalanche!
