VIDEO: Double Wet Snow Avalanches Triggered By Backcountry Duo
Francis Xavier
Wish I had more information about this avalanche video but suffice it to say this backcountry duo didn’t have adequate communication between each other. Watch as the first snowboarder triggers a wet avalanche that exposes bare rock and his skiing partner follows behind him directly into the sensitive area, eats shit, and triggers another slide that drags him directly over the freshly exposed rocks. He popped up and looked to be okay but that was easily avoidable. To get avy savvy and avoid situations like this one, access avalanche education resources HERE.
