And this is why we never ever ever ever ever EVER ride alone.
Don't "ride" at all. Be a man: learn to ski.
Mike Nagle lol fuck that, you can still get caught in an avalance.
He wasn't alone. Watch the end
Sleapy what if i dont have friends who can rip like me?:'(
@@mikenagle9931 Or learn to do both and don't be a bitch complaining about one or the other in TH-cam comments.
My friend was buried alive in snow about a year ago in Colorado. He was 23, this stuff is serious. Rest in peace bro. Glad you survived this one! Crazy.
Damn. My condolences
I was one of the guys that rode up and helped dig out the doo. Glad you made it out of that one alive bud. Not everyone can be as lucky as you were.
Words can't really express my thanks but thank you
+Doug Lakeman, No problem. I would hope someone else would have done the same if it was me in your position. I'm just glad this all went well for you. ride safe
Retrospect skate hahaha why the fuck would I even be looking for credit it's not like I saved any lives I helped dig a buried sled out from that slide. I was just being a help on the hill. You obviously don't know shit, the amount of confusion and lack of communication was bullshit there very well could have been a death or two that day. That little slide took out his buddies waiting down the hill also. Look for someone else's comments to chirp about bud.
Allen Thorell I say bs
Fuck the haters. I'm done supporting my efforts for that day. When an avalanche takes you and your buddies out I hope nobody comes to help you.
Watching the screen go from white to light blue to dark blue was pretty terrifying. Glad you made it out safe.
Gotta remember that the is no trees there for a reason.
shperax could be a life saving comment
Fahjah Fajitas no, actually has no idea what he’s talking about. There are no trees because of the altitude.
You just roasted everyone else!
@@bob15479 partially
Mark Brand get r/woooshed
This is a classic “I’d like to get off the ride now please” moment.
A friend of ours passed away a few years ago from this very same thing. You are blessed!
That is some intense shit!! My heart was beating through my chest watching that unfold. Glad to see you made it out of there unharmed. The GoPro really showed what it would feel like to be in an avalanche. Stay safe bro!
Wow, very lucky. That’s a mountain sledders worst nightmare right there. Glad to here you were ok. Other fellow sledders should watch and see how fast a avalanche can happen, thanks for posting this video. play safe out there.
Really scary.
the fact that he didn't scream or cuss shocks me.
probably just that scarred
John D. You lose a lot of breath and energy screaming. You’re taught to be as calm as possible so you don’t lose your breath
John D. Takes air to scream and cuss. Your better off staying calm
@@Cainoah Yup! I took a spill at the top of Bonzai rapids on Kings river. I didn't even dare cough out water when I popped up as it would waste breathing time. I couldn't see upcoming obstacles because the standing waves were so high. Calm outside, horror inside.
John D. Conserve oxygen
great documentation of what it looks like to be in and under an avelanch
This is the most vivid, wild video from an avalanche survivor ive watched. Life is a ride!
Man u are SO SO lucky , u used all of your 9 lives! I can not believe u popped back up! Kisses n hug your parents everyday and kids if u have them! You're living on borrowed time brother thank God, baby Jesus and all the rest of them!! Your video is by far the scariest I've seen for the fact u had no light above you!! Be safe and have a Merry Christmas
Glad you're ok! But is there more we can see, like the rescue?
Cookie 2501 no and this is too years ago
Ali Taha carz he made the comment two years ago🤣
@@SplashPS4 three actually
Reece Schrock it was two at the time
@@michaelspunich7273 hehe
I've only been in an avalanche once while snowboarding (small one) and I can tell you that it's super disorientating for the first split second before you realize what the heck's going on.
Did you have a float bag on or naturally float to the top? You are one lucky dude....
User TAB good question! How did u manage to stay on top.
@@rob94rob94 he is a good swimmer lol, and very lucky
There are float bags? I’ve only heard of those avalanche backpacks that blow up and leave room around your head. Is that what you mean?
@@cargonomads4947 they have bags that will inflate and help keep you on top of the snow now.
Libots yeah I looked into it pretty cool I didn’t realize they help you stay up to, makes sense lol
My heart was in my throat watching this wow!!! I'm new to snowmobiling and this video is a great way to help me learn more about avalanches. Thanks for sharing it.
Not telling you what to do mate but I would advise you did an avalanche awareness course and bought McLung and Shearer " the avalanche handbook ". being able to identify safe routes is paramount.
@@richardbarton7 I agree with you. 100%.
i know im probably a dick by saying that but it damn looks good in 60 fps
lmao dude come on xD
draggy bae what does that even mean
it means that i'm not enjoying seeing someone getting rammed by an avalache but it looks good in 60 fps
draggy bae he doesn't know what 60 FPS means ffs...
Scary AF but looks cool as shit falling down he broke that shit off.
As a flatland, short-track snowmobiler I sometimes really envied you guys out there. But after watching this, well now I'm not so sure.
The blue light becoming dark purple light was scary af. You were way down there for a while but got back on top again.
Scariest effin' video I've seen on TH-cam to date. Good example of why everyone needs to be careful. Glad to still have you with us.
Here's where I chime in with some sagely mountain wisdom after the fact, even though I've never been out from behind this desktop.
This video gave me anxiety just watching
Take notes. When the bank break under you and you see it, dive into it then cut out of it.
I was telling him to turn downhill to my screen!
@@danlux4954 me too!
This all could have been EASILY avoided if back-country squads were allowed to carry grenade launchers to test the slopes. Call your local congressman.
Is this a joke?
Call the military to see if its safe to go for a sled trip, haha mountain sledding isn't for everyone.
Dude you were SO CLOSE to the edge and getting away from it, damn! Crazy
Wow. Incredible footage. Lets be clear though, and I mean no disrespect, you didn't 'get caught' in that slide, you triggered it. Glad you made it home.
As an ex-pro snowboarder who accessed most of our terrain with snowmobiles, the main goal was always backcountry safety. I saw far too many accidents, and most within the snowmobile community. If you are on a sled, in uncontrolled terrain, and you haven't taken any one of the multiple courses available, you are what we consider a "kook." Dangerous not only for yourself, but for others around you as well. I would hope that you have gone through all of the necessary courses, and know and understand how to use a beacon. Your response to the avy-pack makes me think you really don't know what you are doing back there, as they have a much higher successfull recovery rate than transceivers. But nothing helps like the knowledge of reading the terrain - knowing which "aspects" of the mountain are safe and unsafe on any given day - and most importantly, keeping a good read on the weather conditions. That slope looked quite windloaded to me, and the crown of that avy was over 2' deep. Don't rely on "guardian angels" in the future, be prepared and know how to avoid it in the first place.
asternmp the typical ex-pro giving unsolicited advice haha
asternmp a hearty speech me laddy
Ex pro snowboarder lmaoooo xD U lil chicken give the worst advices and then u pretend to be an ex pro snowboarder xD Eat some snickers my dude
CS- IsKu it wasn't really bad advice, he is right, it does look really wind loaded and it does look like an avalanche path, also the preparation is the bast thing you can do to avoid this.
Did he even have an avy pack or what or you talking about "his attitude"
Amazing you managed to stay on top. That was terrifying, glad you it made it out
i always pray before i ride with my buddies, rip to all the snowmobilers,
Video is a good reminder for anyone that goes out into the backcountry in winter why you should take an AST course, carry avalanche safety gear and check the avalanche forecast.
Looked kinda fun besides the whole almost dying part the ride down looked fun at least. Hello from the Cariboo.
Jeez... this is my worst nightmare, just had a small heart attack watching this
“And this is why you drive in trails“ -14 year old kids dad
As someone who drove trails most of their life and has gone out into the mountains a few times trust me as fun as trail riding is it’s a whole new experience mountain riding
Beautiful scenery!! Keep that head above the snow and glad you're alive.
Daaaamn bro😫😫😫😣 thank god or... WHOEVER was watching down on you man! Im glad youre ok🤙!!!
Wow..very lucky! Thabk God you were able to stay afloat. I would deff love to know if you had any type of avalanche gear on. If not wow, truly an angel was protecting you that day.
I’ve been caught in two avalanches, your best bet is as soon as see that snow start to break away is point those skies down hill and when your sled starts to go under pin to get back on top and ride it out.
I'll take note on this comment 👍
Thanks for sharing that, that seems most logical. It seemed odd and completely counterintuitive to me that this guy steered directly into the avalanche.
You are one lucky dude. Buried alive in an avalanche would have to be one of the worst ways to die.
Jesus christ, while watching this i swear it got harder to breathe. Glad you made it out of that man thats scary as hell.
Holy smokes! You are one lucky guy
wow.. snowmobiles are dangerous in these conditions.. should always wear that avalanche balloon backpack to help you stay on top of the wave of snow. He could have been sucked way down bellow. Amazing he could survive. Moral of the story is its not a joke, snow can kill you
Sounded like the snowmobile said avalanche.
That was fairly terrifying when you went completely under the snow. You must have felt soooo good at the end when you knew you were safe🤣🤣🤣
at least you didn't fall on lava
LOL
Severin Dahl *Triggered*
How do you think a big steep open slope with a dense snow slab on top is OK to ride up on a big heavy loud chunk of metal? Hell, I'd be sketched out going up that on snowshoes, people don't seem to get that avalanches are very predictable in that they are absolutely inevitable, it's just a question of whether you're the thing that sets them off.
❤️ so happy you're okay! When I saw that avalanche forming my heart dropped.
Hallo
Vielen Dank für den ausgezeichneten und lehrreichen Film. Gratuliere, super erklärt und gemacht. Ich hoffe diesen Film sehen die zwei grobfahrlässigen Bergführer vom Lawinenunfall an der Jungfrau im Juli 2007. Damals sind 6 Militär-Rekruten ums Leben gekommen.
Es hatte in 48 Stunden vor dem Unglück 120cm geschneit. Die zwei Bergführer sind am ersten Tag danach in einen 45 Grad steilen Hang an der Jungfrau, oberhalb dem Rottalsattel eingestiegen. Es wurde ein Schneebrett ausgelöst, und 6 Rekruten stürzten 1000m in die Tiefe. Unglaublich, die 2 Bergführer wurden vom Militargericht freigesprochen.
Ich wünsche gute Touren.
Mit alpinen Grüssen

My friend was in an avalanche in Switzerland. He had to cut out his nephew. The tourguide died unfortunately. Very traumatic. My friend had read in a magazine few days before the trip in case of an avalanche you need to make swimming movements with your arms.. as if you want to swim up. He did. This might have saved him. Also at the moment if happened he thought "Not now!!!" as he had certain other people on his mind that needed him in life.
I know that feeling bro.. it s 3 months today i got myself in that situation
Holy crap. Swim like crazy !! Glad you made it
WOW. I can't say i've ever seen a video of people resurfacing during the slide besides using an airbag backpack. This is unbelievable.
1:23 that’s terrifying
Spectacular video all the same. That was a big slab of snow that came down a long ways. Glad you are ok. Lucky you have a small team of guardian angels, not just one
That looked like an avalanche chute that you were climbing with the lack of trees
As soon as you changed the angle to traverse across, rather than up. I cringed. So lucky that you didn't get burried dude. Carry avalanche gear and never ride alone.
3:05 Don't mind me I am just a Christmas tree on roller skates.
Wow,I'm glad your still alive
Riding on the snowmobile turned floating on the snowriver
That’s wild! Glad you made it out
Damn bro, that was scary to watch. Being buried alive would b the worst way to go.
Dude knew what to do, always swim up like its water, if he had not he would have been much deeper.
Mountain feel much better with silence ! That's just what she want to tell you !!!!
MAN WHAT GOGGLES ARE THOSE THEY STAYED ON THE WHOLE TIME also glad ur safe
You can sometimes lock goggles onto the back of the helmets on some modles, probably what was going on here
THAT was disturbing to watch! He got lucky. Out here another guy got caught up in one, had one of those deploy packs and when they unburied him, he still had it on and was gone.
holy fuck man!! You are lucky you were near the top when that ripped out. Any lower and who knows. Glad you are ok.
did anyone else wish he turned downhill when the snow broke and just turned and burned?
Only a Remi would wish that! You just gotta ride the wave man! lol
Ya really! Whatever happened to "when in doubt, throttle it out"!!
When he was riding up to the hell , I thought he had got a rocket man rag
So, was he hurt badly? I was waiting for him to move or wave or groan. Lucky fellow. He was awfully close to that boulder/rock at 2:05. Plus, I can't believe that camera kept recording. I was waiting for it to go flying through the air.
Ira funny that when the avalanched triggered al the show just randomly lifted itself LOL Glad u ok
man... you made it. angels are right... real roll of the dice. . terrible predicament
Him: thanks to my guardian angels
The guy ho saved him: 😢🙁
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them up to vile impurity in the lusts of their hearts, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Romans 1:20-25
Nice documentation of what can happen when we ride in deep snow
I never been in that situation on a snowmobile but my instinct would be to point straight up the hill and floor it.
Yep, get above it if you can, looks like it leaned him over, and he could not get under his lean because it was breaking away. So much power on that sled, pushed the crown down and broke the snow load hold.
"Trigger"
SAD TO SAY, MY NEPHEW DIED IN THIS TYPE OF EVENT 2 YRS AGO..HAD ALL THE SAFETY STUFF, TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. SAW THE SIGNS OF AN UNSAFE SITUATION SO PARKED HIS MACHINE AWAY FROM AREA. STILL CAME DOWN ON HIM. FRIENDS HAD HIM OUT IN APPROX 11 MIN. BUT WAS TOO LATE. I'M STILL SICK
Would small oxygen bottle help in those situations ? Just wondering if they invented a way to survive an avalanche. Sorry for your loss.
50/50
not your day - each one is a blessing - don't take your gifts for granted
hope you are well
Great decision highmarking an avalanche gully!
absolutely terrifying. ive always fantasised about what that would look like and what i would do if i were caught in an avalanche. i guess the answer is just tucker up and stay calm, and hope its a smooth ride.
The parents having their kids die in their arms due to starvation are wondering why people are out spending money like this. Clearly the personal fun is more valuable to them than human life.
you are insane
As deadly as this is, it looks kinda fun.
Were you wearing an airbag pack?
That's crazy man glad you made it out I shit my pants for you watching that. How deep was the sled buried?
wow scary, glad you are alright, any injuries? Was the Ski-doo salvageable?
what the fuck i didn’t realize how fast you were falling until i saw the trees!! Insane
It's nice being at the top
Snowmobilers are volunteer compaction testers
Imagine how much snow is moving here.
Like a rushing river had a baby with a herd of stampeding buffalo 🥶
Those goggles were hanging on for dear life
Bro you are LUCKY AS HELL.....
nice to know you came out of danger after putting yourself in
Crazy video! Glad you are ok.
LOL!! I snowmobile up in Cottonwood Pass in CO... Never seen anything like that!
@Debbie Sanders you should get yourself educated, CO has the worst Avalanche fatality record of any State/ province in NA
I will never understand why people find snowmobiling nice, destroying/destrubing the beautiful landscape with their roaring, stinking mobiles. I am anyway glad you survived.
Geez, party pooper.
Never been mountain riding, Never plan too, The elements don't care about your well being, when the side of a mountain gets knocked loose, your going for a ride against your will, you and the sled, and if your one of the lucky ones you won't get buried alive, That's why it is not a good idea to test fate.
What are you susposed to do as ut breaks? I read that in yours it was to steep to do anything but if it wasnt quite that steep do you keep riding up? Angle it?
whoa.... did you decide to take a nap at the end?!?! you got balls dude..!
Glad your alive.
Take 1000 $ from 15 to 20 you spent on your machine and get some safety gear and take an avalanche awareness class.
Might not be so lucky next time.
Bravissimo, complimenti, sei sopravvissuto alla valanga che tu stesso hai creato con la motoslitta dove non saresti dovuto passare!
Applausi 👏🏼👏🏼
Wow, I hope you realize how lucky you are to have stayed on top of the snow, should have had a avy pack, especially in an area like that
wow!!! so lucky you stayed afloat! Glad you made it! *Fist bump*
