From a local source in Hakuba, we have learned this about this avalanche yesterday:
- This avalanche occurred within a permanent closure at Goryu ski resort
- This terrain is accessed from a chairlift
- This avalanche occurred in a zone that is a major terrain trap where 5 gullies come together into one large gully that then ends in a 45 degree wall
- Last year a Japanese man was killed by an avalanche in the same zone that buried him 5 meters+ (16ft +) under snow
- This avalanche was caused by someone skiing above the skier in the video
Seen that zone. bad terrain trap. Glad he’s ok.
5 gullies that filter into one? Why would you ski there?
your an idiot
You really are a complete moron, 100% of the time. Get a life, maybe even go ski.
sorry that wasn’t for you, fred…..you’re spot on.
Great video
They don’t grunt as much as Americans when buried. Very refined.
Dude needs to clean the lens on his Go-Pro.
