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.

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.

@@AshtonSTG mm yeah okay good luck with screaming at the snow lol
@@exodeus7959 no one asked for politics
I always bring a pneumatic drill with me to drill some calm into the mountain
Glad no one was hurt. This was a very good lesson about the dangers. Other than that this seems like the perfect day :)
Damn skiing here looks like a dream still close call
It’s a major pain in the ass to get out to it though
Skiing all in a close group, the guides chin strap on his helmet is flapping around and he ski cut the convex roll with everyone in the party following closely. Looks like a pretty cowboy outfit
Hope you’ve taken an avalanche safety course since this.
"please move away above me and slice another nice slab to potentially come down on me" :D
Its because they will not be dragged down from the top together with him then no one can dig him up. Thats a golden rule, avoid standing in the same line/path. Stand horizontally.
@@berrafatale25yearsago87 yea I get that, still think it was a bad call.
@@unusualbydefault so what your solution in that particular moment?
@@berrafatale25yearsago87 move away from the dangerous spot first and then let the others follow?
@@unusualbydefault so you suggesting he makes a move, shit starts to slide even more, pulls down his friends and now everyone is burried and left dying without anyone else to help them?
One at a time fellas, party skiing will get you killed eventually.
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.
@@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.
@@borysvengerov3398 it is very tempting lol
Dang.
The mountain was like" you want good snow, I'll give you good snow!" That place is epic! how many vertical was this run!!
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.
Congrats on 1k that place looks amazing
I see a lot of comments saying that they handled this completely wrong. As a newbie skier and someone who came here because of the algorithm, can someone pls explain to me what the proper thing to do in this situation would be?
Anybody else realize how amazing that place is
Loved that the skiing part started right away. But than I will have to quote you "holy shit" I'm going to subscribe :)
Endless fresh powder and he decides to ski on someone else’s tracks😐
@Yelaa Bob well really the point is that the snow covers up all of the rocks and the obstacles like roots and so there is more terrain to ski. Also when it doesn’t snow, the snow gets packed down and really icey so then it’s really hard to stop.
@Yelaa Bob and I don't find regular ski slopes fun. I guess it's all preference but powder skiing is not about the speed but about the feeling
little overreacting
Easy to say when sitting behind a computer screen
I've been snowboarding since 1989. I've had worse experiences than that and didn't make such a big deal about it
spraymaster Yea and maybe this was his first experience ever with an avalanche
spraymaster you’re overreacting now.
@@spraymaster You are the man!
Its my first time to see long skiing , Weldon bro , proud on you
The little rolling "snow-nuts" say it all!
Avalanche at 3:45
What the fuck do I do!?!? Had me rolling 😂
Wow its like an endless expanse of snow. I wish i could keep going and going forever
Lots of people complaining that he has no proper training to be in the backcountry (which is true) but this guy is clearly on a heli ski trip. Guest at heli ski lodge rarely have any experience in the back country and are only trained for rescue when they get to the lodge so hence the complete lack of knowledge when put into a real scenario. Don’t judge too fast. That’s literally 95% of the customers on a heli ski trip
Calling that an avalanche is like jumping on the balcony and calling it an earthquake.
Absolutely beautiful
You shouldn't even be out there. Go back to the green runs.... Where do I go.....
Idk if you have ever been on the slopes but this looks pretty decent tbh
hes not a bad skier, just never skied back country obviously
He is a good skier. Just unexperienced out of the resort
Is there any way I can contact you about using this video in a film that im making as part of a university project?
lolol
Been watching Avalanches for last hour. And now I can tell the telltale signs.
"What about me?" One of those times when you should keep your thoughts to yourself...
Umm.... Why?
@@kebab2275 I don't remember. Sounds like a stupid comment now🙄
Absolutely beautiful. I hope i get to visit a place like that someday
Wow! I have never seen anything like this before. I mean, civilization wasn't in any direction! Gorgeous scenery but it gave me a twisted stomach feeling like it was literally the middle of no where, in snow.
The view looked satisfying
Thats the cutest avalanche I’ve ever seen
Glad your okay ❤️🙏
This video is like cranking a jack in the box!
Guide. Buckle your helmet dude.
Pad nanny 😂😂
Before Reading comments. I thought: Too Big of Group All riding together on same lines And the “pow pow” comment made the guy sound dumb.. Wasn’t surprised when he had no idea what to do after avalanche. That being said wouldn’t it be obvious?
Jeff Heyer exactly my thoughts. Even when he told the guide to stop showing off when he got like 1ft of air of that little jump.
Yes I was like pow pow? Really? That guy has obviously never seen good powder 😂
One mistake the made was continued traversing across the most convex section of the slope where it’s most likely to fracture and by side skiing they are putting max force on snow.
Dude you sound exactly like me, too fucking funny! Thanks for sharing!
- Knock knock! - Who is it? - It's me, your angel guardian.
Una sciata così dev'essere meravigliosa..uno spettacolo mozzafiato.
These people have no business being out there!
Beautiful scene.
“WTF do I do!?” LOL
That's skiing heaven. 😍
When It’s the mountain you look at from your house. 👌
What about me!!?? Dude I was thinking the saaaame thing.. everyone else high, and ok.... and you're right in the path of another release from above
I would love to ski there no matter what ❤️
Did this guy not see the snow cracking everywhere before it happened? He should've realized it wasn't safe in the first place.
Where is this? I want to go there. That way I won’t crash into a tree like I did last time!😆
All that space and everyone in the same single track and making 8s.
Generally, if your doing guided skiing, you do what the guide says. You never ski below the guide & the group skis left or right of the guide track as directed. Failure to comply = goodbye.
Looked like a lot of fun. if only I had a 6 digit figure in the bank instead my usual 3 figure Id join em.
Pretty sketchy if it slides as soon as it's steep enough to make turns.
Yes sir, this is our approximate location and just how Quick you think you can get that Astar here to pick us up???...
Very, very beautiful place
What was the grade of inclination?
hi,which mountain is that beautiful spot?
The snow rolling from 1:30 should show have been a warning signal that ‘lanches were likely.
How beautiful.. Like in heaven!
Anyone else drooled a bit from that powder and fresh made tracks?
Hypothesis: skiing terrain which just avalanched is the safest route. One exception is continuous wind-loading.
Living in BC, I was curious how close to this place I was... I pulled the Skeena Range up on Google maps and tried to get directions. No luck. How in the world do you get to the top in order to ride down? The chopper I hear in background, is that their ride?
I'm never forget back in 1983 I was skiing at the Highlands in Aspen and I was right off of Iran called steeplechase and I was in some sort of a mood and I went out of bounds for a little bit and it was trying to get over to wear some untracked skin would be and I was up to my neck in some
very beautiful video! Thanks. The avalance was not so big "per fotuna"
Wesołych świąt! 🤶🌲🎄
Nice video!
I want to build my own hiuse out there it looks so calm and peaceful
When in doubt gas it!
That place looks so fun
Looks really awsome!
Must have been the first time he saw a small slab avalanche like that, from his reaction. I worked on Avalanche control for years and saw hundreds of them, and swam a few big ones too. The guide wasn’t fazed at all because he knows it happens all the time.
Ребятишки , СПАСИБО - ВАМ !!! За ТО , чего мне ( в этой жизни ) навряд ли когда повторить ( как это повезло Вам ) - суждено , в прочем , как и всем остальным , как и я - таким же !!!
Nothing happened
Well not nothing but not much
Are you kidding that avalanche looks fun to be in its not even bad
Man flipped like if it was the biggest avalanche to be seen
Красота завораживает.
That was a very small slide. Something you don't want to fuck with but not worth the "holy shit!" and "what about me?" comments.
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.
Get what your saying but these guys www.heliskiingcanada.ca are some of the best around. They run Skeena and many more in B.C
Avalanches are less likely on slopes steeper than 45°
Can you please explain what you should do in this situation. I'm just a newbie skier and the algorithm brought me here.. I'm actually really curious about what the proper thing to do here would be.. even though I'll probably never ski down a slope like this in my life lol
You should let us know what company you are skiing with?
This is how many times he says “Holy S***” |
What's the mountain?
Wow. Pretty good video! Close one too at 3:43! And you were trapped there for a moment...
I live here. The Skeena Highway is often closed due to avalanches.
Skiing in the snow clouds
Comment ont-ils pu accéder ds ce secteur, à pieds ça paraît très compliqué, ont-ils été héliportés ?
