MASSIVE BC Avalanche 2018

[@JeremyMarkel]

I took an avalanche course last year where one of the instructors was in the helicopter supervising the work. He had some amazing footage taken from the air of this avalanche. Blew my mind!

[@mycroft16]

This is some of the best avalanche footage I've found. Super large, and good quality... not shaking all over, or tumbling inside it. :D I love seeing the trees being blown over just before they actually get hit by the snow. The pressure wave from this thing is intense! That was a huge amount of snow that came down. It looks like a fluffy white soft cloud but getting hit by that must be like running into a 70 mph concrete wall.

[@seekndestroy1616]

yes

[@brandonkirby4190]

It's neat seeing the tunnel still intact, and the engineering that made it work. I wonder what the max design load for the tunnel is?

[@martymodus7205]

I was thinking the same thing. Honestly, not sure how much I'd trust driving under it with that much weight on top, but I guess if it's still up after the initial impact, it's probably cemented in place somewhat by the settled pack.

[@shinigamigaming2941]

A tunnel is an arch, literally one of the strongest shapes for building.

[@Okanoggin]

What's amazing to me is the outside wall doesn't appear to be heavily reinforced. There's lots of concrete for sure, but I get the feeling it's a testament to the design in that a lot of the force must be going lateral to the structure.

[@magmoo6097]

Spectacular and so powerful, amazing to see it coming down

[@allopez3166]

When you view an avalanche from the side rather than looking at it straight on, it really shows how massive and fast they are.

[@BramskiVlogs]

Watching this video while doing my AST 1 Course, what size avalanche was this do you think?

[@pamelacharles2236]

Hi . I stayed in Revelstoke 2000 at The Peaks. It was not a well known place over here in the UK ansmd I am delighted to know that it is well known around the world. Great place. Did my 1st snow mobile up Boulder Mountain. If I remover the guys name was pat or Paul. Just loved it there. Great video .

[@friedmac7146]

That was Epic! Holy S***! (Omaha Nebraska) 🇺🇸🦅😎🍺⚓✨

[@cmlahue1]

Great video dudes.

[@syxxes]

Thanks!

[@joeyjamison5772]

Canada can be like that in July. You should see the place in the Winter!

[@pamelacharles2236]

Hi is it possible to find out who the guys were that hired out snow mobiles 2000. I was up on the mountain nearly 5 hours. Pamela

[@powderaddicts6364]

We drove out the same day as you guys did! It was pretty creepy seeing each layer of snow stacked on top.

[@syxxes]

Yeah, getting stranded in all sorts of place that weekend

[@powderaddicts6364]

Syxxes Performance yup

[@jpmtlhead39]

Uauu,the Speed of it.

[@NSoutdoorsman]

3:36 lol

[@pschroeter1]

When someone says "avalanche" that's exactly what I picture. If you watch the leading edge closely you can see the air it's shoving out of the way hit the trees a split second before the snow.

[@DrDeuteron]

0:44 great footage of the air blast phenomenon (note: it is _not_ a shock wave).

[@Edfiki86]

How many trees did parkks canada harm by blowing shid up?

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

the landscape is so awesome!!!

[@syxxes]

Welcome to BC!

[@Paleoman]

That was a monster avalanche!

[@SultanofSpey]

Just another day in the Canadian Rockies

Are you sure you have enough wunder-baums?

[@the6ig6adwolf]

I frickin love living in BC!

[@syxxes]

Its the place to be

[@chaseericksen8819]

Is it odd I went through the tunnel yesterday and there is still fallen trees on the top.

[@kenharty6016]

Ive been through there many times never seen it that deep.

[@grassdancers2010]

Have a Mach one 617 what r ur thoughts on a mod for it

[@syxxes]

The easiest thing that you can do is exhaust. It depends on what kind of riding you'd like to do, but bar risers are something that I use. I think that is rotary-valve engine, so not much you can do with intake unless you wanted to switch to a carb with a larger diameter, but it starts getting complicated to tune in at that point.

[@corysnladventures2758]

Finally got snow in NL Canada 👍👍👈

[@syxxes]

Snowing and melting here!

[@greghollett6863]

I was there that day bud, got stuck in golden had to sleep in the car haha

[@syxxes]

Yup! And all the big rigs jammed into every possible place!

[@robich7167]

Why you dont ride the phazer 480

[@syxxes]

+charles robichaud its a cool machine and all but the honest truth is: It'll never keep up with a modern mountain sled. I know a few other guys who have built a phazer like mine and say "Its lighter than a Pro. I'll go anywhere in the mountains an RMK will." And it's just not true. I know its 90% rider ability to get into places, but the truth is the 480 is just not capable of getting into the areas we go. Thanks for the comment!

[@astroman71]

Wow!!! 😮

[@princeofdarknessxyz1]

what's more scarier...avalanche or tidal wave?

[@josephastier7421]

That was huge.

[@BrennenL]

HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@josephastier7421]

0:48 you can see it pushing clear air ahead as it moves down the chute.

[@dylxnchn]

*pretty sure all air is clear*

[@bradpolmateer4801]

Awesome

[@dad5650]

That makes the MOAB seem like a firecracker.

[@rickmars7105]

That's a lot of air fresheners!

[@camerongoltz5578]

Oml im from MN but that was enormous

[@rat5800]

Rip Cameron Boyce same lol haha luckily we have 1 mountain. Also luckily this couldn’t happen @ Buck Hill haha

[@MMikeHD3904]

Some guys I know were in avy last winter, 1 sled was bust right in half cuz it slammed a tree , others were wrote off, nobody hurt though, they all got lucky!

[@hughjanus7460]

A great place to be!

[@sixfigureskibum]

ive never seen the shock wave in front like that , 44 to 53 seconds just wow!

i can hear snowmobiles. that's what the canadian guy said.

In case you didnt think an avalanche doesnt move fast

Avalanche had about just as much power as that Kitty

Almost!

[@evazkee7246]

Holy fuk. How many fatalities!!!?????

[@darrentrapp6990]

E vazkee none. It was a controlled avalanche

[@softhotty]

Amazing speed and size...deadly...maaan oh man.

[@brydon-halohunter]

I live there!!!!

[@stonew1927]

So I take it this was a controlled avalanche intentionally set?

[@Okanoggin]

Almost certainly, considering the footage of the avalanche as it happened was from the ministry of transportation. BC and Alberta highway passes are no joke.
