This group should not have been in avalanche terrain. Towards the beginning of the video you see little balls of snow accumulating and rolling down near the tracks. This is an idication of very wet snow, the kind that has begun to melt and create water between facets. When you get heavy snow poorly bonded to its underlying layer you get a recipe for a wet slab slide like we saw in this video. This is a manageable risk for someone with good snow sense and route finding ability, unfortunately this crew has neither.

It is very tempting though, I have to admit that it's one of those images (gliding through that powder together) which lured me into backcountry in the first place. I guess would be nice to at least spread out as much as possible and have a spotter at all times, if there is more than 2 persons in the group.

@quinndawsonosgood5261 3 жыл бұрын

@@borysvengerov3398 if you are in avalanche terrain you owe it to yourself and your friends to ski 1 at a time. Good protocols will overcome bad forecasting or bad analysis. You never want to be in a position where 1 person is rescuing multiple burials and possibly dealing with multiple injuries. You always want multiple people searching, and hopefully rescuing, a single burial. Just some advice from an old backcountry ski guide.

Seriously don't know which way to go when the slab has already broken off below you and still standing on it? Go forth young man! Lets do that again lol. The snow is waiting... Lacking basic common sense and understanding of how and why avalanches occur. Has zero business being there without a guide (who would have hopefully seen the risk). Also that was basically extremely flat. They were lucky it wasn't a 45 degree grade (if any of them could stay upright). Regardless, if that was on a 45 degree pitch the entire slab would have been down on them. Pointless video except what not to do. Also sick of people saying pow and pow pow. Sounds like baby talk. Wish I had all my time back I wasted now on this.
