I'm from Star Valley and this is in the North Fork of Strawberry Creek, and the Canyon he almost fell into is Pearson Creek which drains into Greys River which ends up in the Snake River that goes through Idaho. The North Fork of Strawberry has cliffs most of the way around it. Great area to play but you have to know where the dangerous spots are!! Glad that your situation turned out ok!!!
Holy hell man scared the hell out of me glad you stayed extremely calm. And i would say after collecting myself it was totaly worth it for those views. Glad I will still see you around.
Bro... You see where the trees end? That's where the land stops and the snow begins... When you start talking you're still standing on the leeward snow drift and have NO ground beneath you... Next time back up a little further before you start chatting, otherwise you'll be one of the first Darwin Award winners with recorded last moments on a first person POV. It'll sound something like "damn that was close... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
@@kristirosenlund2567 what moment? It's a relaxing Sunday drive with PLENTY of time to realize it's a massive fucking snow cornice. Guy should not be allowed on any snow ever again
@@moralester one of those moments when you realize mother nature can have you by the balls in a fraction of a second, that's why you need to ride with caution and proper safety equipment at all times. Last season where I ride two people died with no avalanche gear on.
@@moralester He could have been thinking about stuff like this even before he bought a snowmobile, but his thought process didn't seem to be focused on safety. Did you notice how many companions he had with him?
It's called a cornice and the number of times a cornice fall has taken out mountaineers above and below the cornice is probably too many to count. Cornices cause avalanches as well depending on the conditions and slope.
he was still standing on the cornice and the snowmobile was still on it too for the entire video. i would have bailed off that thing and said well i'm out 12 grand or whatever he paid for it because trying to get it away from the edge he was tempting death every second.
When a big piece of snow has dropped or slid, the stress on the snowpack is instantly relieved, so the remaining piece of snow or cornice is actually very stable.
Had to show this to the kids we teach Snowmobile safety classes to. Told them "you never know what's on the other side, so be prepared for anything". Looks cool on a 46" screen. Cornice looked to be the size of a bus.
You're obviously a good sled rider, but that was an amateur move dude, I'm sure you know that now. Riding on the edge of a massive cornice like that leads me to believe you're a unnecessary danger to yourself in the mountains. I understand shit happens, but maybe an avy course and a few mountaineering classes are in order. There's some basic stuff you need to know before heading out into the mountains on a 500lb machine. This is coming from a lifelong AK backcountry rider; pay attention to the warning signs and don't get caught up in making good GoPro footage. Cheers.
This was on that dumb show "What Would You Do," and he was touted as doing everything right. I.e., keeping his cool and tip toeing off the cornice and manually pulling the machine back before firing it up and reversing. He could've bit the bullet if he clicked into reverse with his weight on. I know you were referring to getting in to shit in the first place, but your advice doesn't really apply- even a pro can come upon a sudden drop. I think we can assume there was no signage, and he was unfamiliar with the territory. Bottom line: we all learn by doing, an mistakes are the best teachers (provided you survive them!)
sharkkvantis Milky Wayan I don't think you guys understand, this is an extremely basic rule of being in the mountains; DON'T go near a sudden drop without scoping it from a different angle first to make sure it's not hanging nastiness. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what this guy saw in the video: a sharp drop with unknown consequences. He didn't do everything right, not even freaking close. I just hope he did learn. This exact situation has killed dozens of people and is totally preventable.
Welp, you used up the one miraculous save from a cornice fall of certain death. Now what are the rest of us supposed to do? Just glad you lived, and caught it on film! Not sure if you believed in angels, but if not, hopefully you do now! Miracle.
The lesson to learn here is do your homework know the avalanche conditions, where the windswept snow is, know what cornices are and know that sleds are heavy, they cause avalanches sooner then skis so. Look at the cliff band and look at the trees too far out, close call but a dumb move, people die everyday in extreme sports because they don't learn the simple rules and safety measures to take, same thing in rock climbing or flying or even hunting ignore the rules roll the dice and see what happens.
it's a bit funny because I would love to try one of these (preferably not on the edge of a cliff!) but, in the beginning with that gorgeous scenery and that perfect snow, all I could think of was that god-awful noise. lolol... can't have both I suppose.
try ice fishing when you're just out there enjoying nature trying to relax and these stupid things and people's gas augers are in your ear like this all day long.
@t3pratt Don't need to. My TH-cam settings auto play in HD. Something a smart guy like you apparently doesn't know about. HD playback doesn't change the colors, and it's apparent that Liquid Images' color values simply miss the mark. Nonetheless, this is a great video and I'm glad skirulefool both made it out unscathed and shared it with all of us. As far as which camera is better, most people and reviews don't agree with you, but you probably already bought a pair so have fun with them.
@DKHVIDS thanks I was lucky and I have rode with klim for the last couple years and have switched to motorfist as stuff has needed replaced i cant say anything bad about either company they both are quality product I have noticed that the motorfist is a little more affordable though
Jas Sandhar Possibly, but he was coherent enough to talk about how hard he is breathing and what not. How is a person's first reaction not to back up from an unstable ledge?
+illybang Why do people get ''deer in the headlights'' reactions when a speeding car is heading straight for them? It's not rational dude. It's a sudden moment of extreme shock and you can't change your reaction. You instinctively take one reaction and takes a moment to recollect yourself. What, you never got scared shitless when say getting in a fight with someone and losing?
if you watch when it first starts to crack I went to jump back the seen where it was going to crack so decided to wait it out for a second then put it in reverse but didn't back up because I did not want the track to spit the rest of the ledge out so I manually pulled it back then reversed out of the situation I was far from panic but still a nerve testing situation
Do these things come with multiple speeds? 2nd gear would really help in that first minute stretch, I sure hope you got ear plugs, that thing is loud! Oh, and I hope that beeping is something that's transmitting your location home, otherwise is it really the reverse beep?
Bird Club What would Jesus say if he saw what you just typed to me? "I am disappointed my child. I thought I told you to turn the other cheek." Probably something like that.
What Would You Do indeed. That's scary; notice how he had that moment of "holy shit I'm still here" for a few seconds? Why must they use a horribly loud 2 stroke on a snowmobile- it breaks the beauty to shreds. Electric powered machines, coming soon!
There's always room for internal combustion fans, passion is found everywhere. But the Tesla and other electrics outperform most gas cars now, and without ask that complicated power distribution, gears, clutches... moving parts that break. Electric is the future. And out in the ultra quiet wilderness of white, it's much nicer sliding along 60mph in silence! Now on a hot race track, I feel you there...
Yea the drawback is distance. Still tho: they now do a hundred miles or a few hours. Research shows the vast majority of trips are less than this, and they can be plugged in any outlet to top them up. Plus, no one says you can can't have a little gas engine generator in the back! I also like the idea of regenerative braking which extends battery life. Like I said, I hear you man, but if they can extend distance to 300 miles, and have public outlets at every gas station, who would want to continue paying $5 gallon?
***** the ski doo are some of the cleanest machines out there. The high pitch of the two stroke carries half as far as a 4 stroke. I would the electric sled right up to the point where I got stuck. At that point the weight of the batteries is just not going to work.
Jesus tap-dancing Christ Sally! You are adorable :3 Look sweetheart, even in cars that require less than a 20hp to maintain 75mph and carry damn near 1000 pounds of batteries, Electric-only STILL isn't a viable replacement for IC engines. And you think a snowmobile... that you want to keep as light as possible AND also needs a power-plant with a long-term high sustained power output (which is what batteries CAN'T do)....... could even be half-way feasible on current (or even next 10 years) battery technology??? I know, I know, it's considered cool these days to jump on the "green" bandwagon and smugly drive your Prius with a "Save The Wales" bumper sticker while tweeting "#PartOfTheSolution", and munching on a slice of free-range wheat toast while sipping a venti caramel-mocha-late from Starbucks... ...But can you stop being a hipster for just TWO seconds at least TRY to use some common sense?
I must be missing part of this thread, cos truck me if I can find a Sally! But dude you need to look in a mirror: only a hipster could compose such a reply. It's as if you described your gf's life then signed it "a real man". Venti, that's large right?
@skirulefool You looked alone in the video. Good that you had riders with you,, at least they would have found you? Someday, I would love to try that out as it looks like a lot of fun! The desert is close for us so we do Glamis in So. Calif. a lot. Our local mountains don't have the large open areas suitable for great conditions like you had. Good luck in the future!
jeez!!!! i crapped my pants twice!! amazing sled! wish i could go to a place like that with my sled. i just have a few hills at my house. you are really lucky!
i was laughing so hard when you said that, because i was just saying "I bet this guys shit his pants!" lol ..... wow that was close mate! i would have shat myself too!
@skirulefool you have some awsome buddys letting you get first tracks up the hill, and congrats on the youtube hit, i seem to be seeing/hearing about this video all over the place
@t3pratt I thought the guy had damaged his GoPro or something. I was wondering why it looked all blue/purple and crappy like that. Filmed with a Liquid Image - makes sense now.
I was saying to myself how that must of been a hell of a rush of adrenaline with the breathing being evidence of that and then 30 seconds later your commentary confirmed it. I'm glad you're okay, but I couldn't help but to laugh when you said that. lol
Mad props for handling the situation so calmly. But - you almost fall to your death because of loose snow, saved by incredible luck, and then CONTINUE TO STAY NEAR THE EDGE for youtube commentary? What the hell, man?
@ultrafast890 Yea, yea that what 'skirulefool' posted back to me also. But, when you watch the video,, as he pans around with his helmet camera, where are they?? Not in the video so one could only assume he was alone. If he had of gone over the edge and got buried by the snow,, and no one saw it,,,, who would even know where to look for him other then his tracks to that edge of the cliff. How long would that have taken them to realize he was somewhere down that cliff face?
@SmalltimR Could have gone either way for sure. I grew up in the rockies, Nelson BC and lived literally smack dab at the base of copper mountain. It's way way way steeper than it looks on camera, doesnt do justice. I think he did the right thing, kept his cool.
wow very close call, although I dont know the circumstances you were in seems like you should of kept backing up! unless you were stuck.. Still looked like a bit of that snow edge was gonna crack.. God was on your side that day! Glad you didnt fall man!:)
I haven't even watched this video yet, but you know something terrible is about to happen when the video starts with, "Nice and pristine day!" in a bright cheery voice. YEAH, A LITTLE TOO PRISTINE...
I love how he just sits there thinking "holy fuck."
the trees know where the mountain ends
underrated comment
😂😂😂
I'm from Star Valley and this is in the North Fork of Strawberry Creek, and the Canyon he almost fell into is Pearson Creek which drains into Greys River which ends up in the Snake River that goes through Idaho. The North Fork of Strawberry has cliffs most of the way around it. Great area to play but you have to know where the dangerous spots are!! Glad that your situation turned out ok!!!

Holy shit dude! Why did you go so close to that edge though? You were REALLY lucky over there :D
After watching that snow break away from the crest, I wouldn't want to be standing there for long!
he was still standing on the cornice and the snowmobile was still on it too for the entire video. i would have bailed off that thing and said well i'm out 12 grand or whatever he paid for it because trying to get it away from the edge he was tempting death every second.
When a big piece of snow has dropped or slid, the stress on the snowpack is instantly relieved, so the remaining piece of snow or cornice is actually very stable.
I would imagine "very stable" is a relative term.
No words can describe the feeling of holding the bars at a moment like that.

I grew up in this area man. You are LUCKY. It is beautifully dangerous up there.

What's the reverse beep for? The grizzly behind you?
Thank you for replying...
It looks so fun to ride there, exept you get an "adventure" like this :D
Am i the only one that watches snowmobile videos in the summer and wish i could be out there right now.
that view just became ten times more beautiful for that guy!!
@dbb6 Do you ride snowmobiles or hike on snowy mountains?
O man, it was a little funny to watch how slowly you moved after getting a nice shock. Glad you're ok!
Happy you survived. Don't go too close to those cliffs now.
What kind of camera are you using????? I want one
im from idaho falls man i was just up around there a week or so ago! thats nuts man props on getting out alive! go buy a lotto ticket
Props to that guy for being smart and keeping calm.
@isupplyu Not a gopro they're Liquid Image Goggles I love the POV so much more than GoPro (no helmet visors in the shot)

Holy shit, dude. Glad you're ok.

wow very close call, although I dont know the circumstances you were in seems like you should of kept backing up! unless you were stuck.. Still looked like a bit of that snow edge was gonna crack.. God was on your side that day! Glad you didnt fall man!:)
Was that switch he hit some kind of emergency beacon in case you get avalanched?
Liquid Image video goggles $200. Gas for Snowmobile $30. Video taping yourself about to go off a cliff PRICELESS!!!!!
I haven't even watched this video yet, but you know something terrible is about to happen when the video starts with, "Nice and pristine day!" in a bright cheery voice.
YEAH, A LITTLE TOO PRISTINE...
I held my breath from the moment he stopped until he got off the sled from the fright I felt!
I sure got an adrenaline surge from watching that. Man, am I glad you were able to walk away.
Snow can be a silent and sudden death trap.
is that up spring creek or on the edge of lake valley?
@DKHVIDS Yes it is up strawberry rite by bedford
I'm not religious, but holy shit, SOMEONE was looking out for you that day!
