The snowboarder who is filming is Victor Liebenguth. They found her friend about 70 meters away and after this rescue a second avalanche hit on the face of the mountain and trapped a third person that they rescued as well. Everyone made it off the mountain face alive

Not just luck, precaution. You can see she has an inflatable pack that helped keep her more bouyant during the avalanche, and they tracked her location with an emergency beacon that she was carrying. This is a French rescue team. There is definitely luck involved but this is also a whole safety system used properly and working well. Hard work and intelligence kept this woman and her friend alive.

Never heard of someone having to pay a rescue team 🤔 maybe if your family hires a private team but here in America you most certainly don't have to pay to be rescued! What if you don't have the $ and how does that work? Do they say before bringing you back you have to pay x amount or they leave you? Do you telepathically sign a contract before they come for you? Do that take your back if you don't pay your bill? I mean seriously that makes zero sense

Думаю, что вы неправы. Даже если бы это была не её подруга, а просто незнакомый человек, который находился в этот момент рядом, она бы все равно кричала что-то вроде "спасите человека, он где-то здесь". Это элементарное сочувствие, которое присуще человеческой особи, тем более что лично от неё ничего не требовалось. То есть причин для выбора спасать или не спасать не было.

To anyone reading this, Jesus Christ Loves you so much that HE died for you all to save you all from eternal death and suffering. And HES calling you all to a relationship with HIM. All you need to do is to Believe in HIM with all of your Heart that HE died for all of youre sins meaning (past,present,future sins) and believe that HE rose again on the Third Day then you will be saved. Does that mean that i can now do anything i want, no. When you are now saved in Jesus Christ, you are now renewed in HIM meaning your old self (sins, darkness, lusts) are all gone For Jesus Christ has now renewed you and when you are now saved, you start a relationship with HIM, so that you may know HIM more and know about HIS words and commands which are in the BIBLE and aswell most importantly you can apply GODS words into your Life and Make GODS words your lamp to your feet and to your path and your guidance on How to Live life. And some might say i need to be clean (sinless) to come to Jesus Christ but thats not the Case, Because GOD Himself when you come to HIM will transform you and renew you, but does that mean that i will not sin again?, no but thats why you need to have full total Faith in GOD so that you will not sin against HIM and you will be all set. GODBLESS you all, May GODS Grace and Peace and Love which trancends all understanding be with you all Amen!❤

Wow!! Yeah when I was 18 I traveled from my home in Hawaii to go on a trip with my girlfriend to Switzerland, Austria and Italy. This was in 1980, to visit and stay with my friend in Verbier Switzerland. He had a chalet up there in the alps and asking shop called Mountain Air. It was so completely different from skiing in the Rockies in Colorado because there were no rope barriers or warning signs not to ski out of bounds. It was awesome skiing but avalanche danger was pretty spooky in a lot of places! I remember being in Saint anton. Austria skiing in thr Tyrol alps having the most incredible time of my life. We stayed in this building- pension (?) at the base of the slopes, and about 3 years later, I saw on TV news that same place destroyed by an avalanche and people had died!!! I was of course sad for the people who lost their lives, and the wonderful Austrians who I just loved, but it scared me!!! We spent about 2&1/2 months in all these amazing and beautiful places skiing and immersed in the culture and language and oh my goodness the food!!!! The best!!! The Berner oberland the Jungfrau region in the Swiss alps was one of the most incredible places I've ever seen or been to in my life!!!!! We stayed in interlaken between lake thun and spiel and it snowed all night. When we awoke early the next morning, we took the small cog train ride up into the Jungfrau and the weather was bluebird skies and no wind and a fresh two feet of powder snow covered everything! It was beautiful and the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau peaks were magnificent, spectacular!!! The whole area, was like being in a fantasy world, a winter wonderland landscape that had me in complete awe!!!!! For the first two days up there, we just went sightseeing taking the cog trains and gondola and I was a young pro photographer and I wanted to shoot everything I could so we didn't ski till the third day. I remember places like the 007 Piz Gloria restaurant that was far above Wengen and Lauterburin and Murin. I think the Schilthorn(?) I mean at 18 and from Hawaii, we were in the most amazing place!!!!! I consider the Jungfrau to be one of the 7 wonders of the world. And where I live we have the Na pali coast on the island of Kauai and the Jungfrau is as awesome!!!!!! Best trip of my life!! Back in 1980 few people that age traveled that far especially from Hawaii, and then by ourselves and for almost 3 months!! We took trains rented a car for a month and stayed in incredible places!!! The entire trip plus airfare for that long, and back home I did for $6,000.00 US!!!!!! I had just finished high school and saved the money and planned the whole thing when a friend invited us to come stay up in Verbier Switzerland with him! I had met him only about 6 months earlier as he was my girlfriends friends brother! They we're dual U.S-Swiss citizens. I took the two brothers out to my families beach house on the windward side of Oahu Island and because they were dive certified, I invited them to come stay with me and took them out on my small Boston whaler boat to go scuba diving and they were completely blown away!!!! I grabbed huge lobsters and speared some really good eating fish and took them swimming and diving with dolphins and humpback whales and we had feasts each night!!!! Just did what we do in Hawaii, shared the spirit of Aloha with them!!!!!! So my new friend casually invited me to come visit and stay with him in the Swiss alps in Verbier!!!! I remember saying "are you sure?" because if so I will definitely come!!!! We'll, that turned in to the best trip of my life!!!!! I fell in love with Europe and the languages and culture and wow!!!! the food and wine and beer!!!! Like I said few people just took off and did something like that at age18 back then!! Especially coming from Hawaii it was quite a flight and we'll, it also was really uncrowded back then and I just went for it!!!! Most snow I've ever seen, and I went to college in Colorado and skied in the rockies a lot, was up in the Swiss Alps in Verbier when it snowed non stop and in a few days it had literally snowed 15 feet of powder, burying my friend chalet and most everything up there!!! I was powder skiing in 5- 6 feet of fresh powder and the snow was literally going over my girlfriends head!!!! They used to wear snorkels back in those days to ski deep powder!!!! Really!!!! I had heard about it!!! Verbier is world famous and legendary for skiing and huge snowfall amounts!!! An amazing experience for a surfer and Hawaiian waterman born and raised in Hawaii!!!!! A winter wonderland!!!!!! The trip of a lifetime!!!!! Dolomite alps in Italy, the Austrian Tyrolean alps, we skied the famous St. Moritz!!!!!! I mean I was 18!!! I wasn't from a super wealthy family but my parents did well, but I paid for everything for my girlfriend and I from my own hard work and seriously I considered staying and just living there!!!! But my island ties and life were too strong though I continued traveling and especially in Europe extensively over the years!!! But when I saw that place I stayed in St. Anton Austria buried by Avalanche about a Year later after that trip, I was pretty shocked!!! Remember skiing in the alps that first trip and being super quiet and careful not to trigger an avalanche in many places and it was really different from the rockies. Just anyone could ski out of bounds and many dud, and it was really dangerous sometimes!! Ski rescue guys are legendary over there!!! Respect!!!! Aloha from Hawaii Don Libbey
