I took an avalanche course last year where one of the instructors was in the helicopter supervising the work. He had some amazing footage taken from the air of this avalanche. Blew my mind!
This is some of the best avalanche footage I've found. Super large, and good quality... not shaking all over, or tumbling inside it. :D I love seeing the trees being blown over just before they actually get hit by the snow. The pressure wave from this thing is intense! That was a huge amount of snow that came down. It looks like a fluffy white soft cloud but getting hit by that must be like running into a 70 mph concrete wall.
I was thinking the same thing. Honestly, not sure how much I'd trust driving under it with that much weight on top, but I guess if it's still up after the initial impact, it's probably cemented in place somewhat by the settled pack.
What's amazing to me is the outside wall doesn't appear to be heavily reinforced. There's lots of concrete for sure, but I get the feeling it's a testament to the design in that a lot of the force must be going lateral to the structure.
Hi . I stayed in Revelstoke 2000 at The Peaks. It was not a well known place over here in the UK ansmd I am delighted to know that it is well known around the world. Great place. Did my 1st snow mobile up Boulder Mountain. If I remover the guys name was pat or Paul. Just loved it there. Great video .
When someone says "avalanche" that's exactly what I picture. If you watch the leading edge closely you can see the air it's shoving out of the way hit the trees a split second before the snow.
The easiest thing that you can do is exhaust. It depends on what kind of riding you'd like to do, but bar risers are something that I use. I think that is rotary-valve engine, so not much you can do with intake unless you wanted to switch to a carb with a larger diameter, but it starts getting complicated to tune in at that point.
Some guys I know were in avy last winter, 1 sled was bust right in half cuz it slammed a tree , others were wrote off, nobody hurt though, they all got lucky!
+charles robichaud its a cool machine and all but the honest truth is: It'll never keep up with a modern mountain sled. I know a few other guys who have built a phazer like mine and say "Its lighter than a Pro. I'll go anywhere in the mountains an RMK will." And it's just not true. I know its 90% rider ability to get into places, but the truth is the 480 is just not capable of getting into the areas we go. Thanks for the comment!
Almost certainly, considering the footage of the avalanche as it happened was from the ministry of transportation. BC and Alberta highway passes are no joke.
Dieses Video müssen sich alle mehrfach ansehen, die meinen, trotz Lawinenwarnung, es besser wissen zu müssen. Bei diesem Abgang liegt man nach 10 Sekunden 5-10 Meter unter dem Schnee. Mir tut wirklich keiner Leid, der bei sowas in's Gras beißt. Die Leidtragenden sind die Rettungskräfte !!!!!

yes
It's neat seeing the tunnel still intact, and the engineering that made it work. I wonder what the max design load for the tunnel is?
I was thinking the same thing. Honestly, not sure how much I'd trust driving under it with that much weight on top, but I guess if it's still up after the initial impact, it's probably cemented in place somewhat by the settled pack.
A tunnel is an arch, literally one of the strongest shapes for building.
What's amazing to me is the outside wall doesn't appear to be heavily reinforced. There's lots of concrete for sure, but I get the feeling it's a testament to the design in that a lot of the force must be going lateral to the structure.
Watching this video while doing my AST 1 Course, what size avalanche was this do you think?
When you view an avalanche from the side rather than looking at it straight on, it really shows how massive and fast they are.
Canada can be like that in July.
You should see the place in the Winter!
We drove out the same day as you guys did! It was pretty creepy seeing each layer of snow stacked on top.
Yeah, getting stranded in all sorts of place that weekend
Syxxes Performance yup
Spectacular and so powerful, amazing to see it coming down

Hi is it possible to find out who the guys were that hired out snow mobiles 2000. I was up on the mountain nearly 5 hours. Pamela

That was Epic! Holy S***!

Great video dudes.
Thanks!
That was a monster avalanche!
the landscape is so awesome!!!
Welcome to BC!
I frickin love living in BC!
Its the place to be
Is it odd I went through the tunnel yesterday and there is still fallen trees on the top.
How many trees did parkks canada harm by blowing shid up?
Are you sure you have enough wunder-baums?
the bubbles voice lmao
I was there that day bud, got stuck in golden had to sleep in the car haha
Yup! And all the big rigs jammed into every possible place!
Uauu,the Speed of it.
what's more scarier...avalanche or tidal wave?
Ive been through there many times never seen it that deep.
3:36 lol
That's a lot of air fresheners!
Just another day in the Canadian Rockies
0:44 great footage of the air blast phenomenon (note: it is _not_ a shock wave).
sick henie man
Have a Mach one 617 what r ur thoughts on a mod for it

Finally got snow in NL Canada 👍👍👈
Snowing and melting here!
Some guys I know were in avy last winter, 1 sled was bust right in half cuz it slammed a tree , others were wrote off, nobody hurt though, they all got lucky!
HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!
This is revenge for sticking carrots in to Snowmens noses
Oml im from MN but that was enormous
Rip Cameron Boyce same lol haha luckily we have 1 mountain. Also luckily this couldn’t happen @ Buck Hill haha
That makes the MOAB seem like a firecracker.
Why you dont ride the phazer 480

HOW DO PEOPLE JUST SIT THERE WATCHING THAT I WOULD BE FREAKING OUT LOL
Edit: i put caps on accident but im too lazy to fix it
That was huge.
That ford moan in the tunnel 😂 HUUUUUUUUUUUU
Revelstuck I’ve been stuck on both sides
-30?! it must be summer there! LOL
ive never seen the shock wave in front like that , 44 to 53 seconds just wow!
Wow!!! 😮
Awesome
Those damn Sasquatch jokesters.
In case you didnt think an avalanche doesnt move fast
Avalanche had about just as much power as that Kitty
Almost!
Well; our First Nations indiginous population warned us that we were pissing off Mother Nature. Duely noted!
Rusty ( Scott/lrish Canadian )
She was a big one!
Listen to Van Morrison and The Chieftans-if you haven't. jigga-de-jig! and hot chocolate too by-the-JUG.
this guy has a lot of money
NO SOUND !!!!
i can hear snowmobiles.
that's what the canadian guy said.
Holy fuk. How many fatalities!!!?????
E vazkee none. It was a controlled avalanche
So I take it this was a controlled avalanche intentionally set?
Almost certainly, considering the footage of the avalanche as it happened was from the ministry of transportation. BC and Alberta highway passes are no joke.
RIP squirrels.
Hey I live right by there
A great place to be!
0:48 you can see it pushing clear air ahead as it moves down the chute.
*pretty sure all air is clear*
Incredible
Nice hat
I miss that hat!
Lol
massiv
Amazing speed and size...deadly...maaan oh man.
Btw bc means “because” please thank me later
KlutzyTadpoleYT r u joking??

LOVA US POOPYS ❤️🤘SO MUCH
The poor animals
see! Canadians do all live in snow and igloos!
