my body was stiff this entire video. I'm major claustrophobic, I would have been going ballistic being buried like that! Scary stuff, glad to see the person is okay

At least he tried to get his pinkie finger adjusted properly before searching. Seriously though the only way your buddy's r gonna be prepared r education by professionals or take it upon yourself. Or just choose the right ridin buddy's. be my last time with em if was me.

You had two pairs of gloves this whole time!?.....Yah, were in the Rockies!

Notice how the comments are disabled for the video on you tube. I could image what people would be sayin about that meatball. No Beacon, Sharing a shovel, leaving his gloves behind. Trying to warm his hands up while buddy is burried. WOW!

That was real sad in so many ways. If he would have been completely buried he would have been f'ed with help that he recieved from those wing nuts. Just dig your self out!

Wow! I thought the video was a joke at first, no way this could be happening in this day and age. 1 beacon between the 3 guys standing there? 1 shovel? Leaves his gloves behind?

Hope they learned a lesson, bought proper equipment and took some courses and practiced.

I couldn't even finish watching. I feel 100 percent safe with our core group. We go in the alpine together and we leave together. All our decisions are group decisions. If ones not comfortable about a riding area or situation we don't go.

Ya no chit...

I kinda chuckled when the "victim" was shovelling HIMSELF out while dumbass was whirling his arms...

And the part when he said "Give me your beakon.... take your time".... WTF?

That was the worst avalanche video EVER!! It's good that it ended up the way it did. That is gonna be perfect material for the avalanche instructors to show in their classes...

That was one of the most painful things I have watched. Unreal.

One beacon...one shovel...think I'll leave my gloves behind, wont be needing them...shovel handle, hmmm, wonder where that is, real hard to find in a little pack...one of you other 10 people want to lend a hand maybe, if you can find the time...


At least they were Calm...:rolleyes:
