Crazy Deep Snow Ski Rescue

Postby Masato » Mon Apr 03, 2023 3:51 pm

This is wild

I used to snowboard similar terrain back in the day. Snow was ridiculously deep. Falling in a tree well was the most feared scenario.

I had a few encounters getting stuck/buried, snow can be so heavy its really difficult to get out.

SPOILER: the vid does not actually show him getting out, just mostly

What were the odds that no one would have found him? I think high. The patrols are supposed to do sweeps at the end of the day but there is so much to cover. A miracle this dude spotted him.

I gotta check out Mt Baker 1 day.

I look at it all the time when I'm in Victoria, there is this weird effect where Mt Baker sort of gets magnified in the view. From Victoria sometimes it looks bizarrely huge and surreal.

But I've never been there. DIdn't know the snow could get that good
