That is stressful, sobering, and fortunate!

 

[girlpowder]

It made me cry.

All I can say is WOW!

 

[SXViper]

A must see.

I watched this last night and it is a real eye opener. Scary as heck, the house is set at 72 and I was sweating after watching it. I couldn't watch the whole thing I had to skip past most of the middle part. I can't even begin to think what that would be like. Thank God for good friends and safty gear!

Thanks for posting that boss

I know for one I will be attending the avy class they do here during the snow show's this year I want the others in my group to do the same we will see about that...

Thanks for posting this. Good reminder for the beginning of the sledding year.
I watched this vid last night and almost had a panic attack. I wanted to reach in through the screen and help this dude out badly.
I know what it's like to be in a major avy, although I did not have a complete burial like this fella. Makes me shake and weak just watching it.

 

[hilpulr]

Video

My heart is still racing after watching this!

 

[akstormin]

That is a must watch video for everyone who rides in the mtns!! Man that's pretty sobering listening to him trying to breathe while being completely helpless and waiting for the rescue! That's some scary stuff.

Gotta sled with trained peeps. Go get your Avy training, well worth it, Lori at Zacs does a great job. I'd take again for sure.
