Looks like the backpack kept him above?

my question is when was that?

where is that????

The vid's title is "avalanche west Yellowstone" so I'm guessing it isn't lake ann.

Great how he high marks his stuck buddy, yells at him while he passes, then cuts loose an avi above him. What a tool....

 

[rmk all the way]

If you stop it when he goes by his buddy there was two people at the stuck sled. Lucky for sure

Looks longer the backpack kept him above?

my question is when was that?

After watching it some more guy on the pro didn't have a backpack and got lucky and stayed above the snow. Guy with pack is the one that got hi marked.

Bash these guys all you want, but honestly, I probably would have attempted that hill. Videos like these are reminders that we may not know what is safe or not.

Because the inability to truly predict a slide, my buddy and I opted to sled beginner areas, and completely take out the temptation to climb the hills.

Wonder if the PNW will even be safe this year for hill climbing due to the ice layer at the base.

I am thankfull they posted it.

What ever way you lean on this the vid is good for all of us to see

thank you to whoever put the vid up as many of us would not have.

Its tough for me to call them stupid as Im sure Ive been on many hills that "could" have popped as well. I watch as many of these videos as I can to help myself learn as much about Avy's as possible through second hand experiences. The more we know the better.

I find it very easy to call him stupid and irresponsible when it comes to avi safety.

Rule #1 - Only one guy on the hill at a time!!

Don't go help you stuck buddy on the hill, he can dig out himself, and definitely don't high mark him. That guys was a sitting duck and is lucky to be alive.

That vid is a classic example of what not to do. Thanks for putting it on here. Nice to see the airbag got deployed and did it's trick too.

There was a video posted on here last year of an avy in West Yellowstone...this looks like the same exact hill.
