Avalanche caught on head cam

A scary vid, try watching it without looking at the clock to experience the fear.

Digging with skis, another well prepared group. Would never ski in group that didn't have, shovel, probe, transceiver and ideally skins.

Scaaarryyy!!!!

glad to see he was Ok...fascinating(for all the wrong reasons) to see this from the victims view.. I thought the sound was a little low so used headphones and tuned the volume up full..nearly pooped myself at just after 5mins when the sound of his breathing changed to yelling!!

...or try holding your breath from when he gets buried...

A very lucky boy from many respects.

From 0:51 onwards he appears to be riding onto a slab of obviously wind-effected snow. The very obvious wind-lip he crosses, and the complete absence of other tracks on the slab were great big red flags.

He was very lucky not to be buried deeper, and to (apparently) have a little room to move his head at least.

The skier who sets off ahead of him appears to have a pack but there's no sign of any shovels when they're digging him out... :shock:

Watch and learn, and don't do it like this!

This guy is extremely lucky! he seems to stop, then starts to move again which could of saved his life!

That was a really worrying video ... but enjoyable as we like a happy ending :thumbup:
