Oregon Snowmobiler Triggers Avalanche Then Outruns It

“I was riding on Pelican Butte and had to outrun an avalanche. I’m yelling and excited down at the bottom of the hill because I lived through it not because I purposely started it. Stay safe out there and keep situational awareness!”

Gnarly avalanche footage from Pelican Butte in Oregon where a snowmobiler triggered a slide and dropped the hammer to outrun it. Good thing he didn’t get bucked during the initial propagation or that could have been a dire situation. Stay safe.
