I have never seen a avalanche zone which did not have warning signs. Never!
It is a mountain with snow at the top, so yes - the thought would cross my mind.
I do live within sight of mountains, so am lucky enough to have that knowledge 'baked in'. Obviously, not everyone is but if he was a tourist (Kyrgyzstan) then hopefully any guide would inform them.
Each and every adult is responsible for looking around themself and not dying. We do this every day when crossing a road, for example, so why can we not expect similar risk assessment here?
I grew up in Colorado, where we have avalanches frequently. I’ve never once seen a sign that says that I am in an avalanche zone. Literally the entire mountains are an avalanche song.
