Set Off An Avalanche

[@montanamountainutv]

You are getting sooo good with your camera angle choices! Showing us just what we want to see! It's crazy there! Lol Another great video. Thanks Matt!!!

[@JustBenWhompTruck]

Great stuff as usual. Also, it's great to see you be more active about stewardship and Av safety as your views have grown. It's really easy to edit out "boring" stuff like that but you've been making it point to express the importance of being smart, checking av reports and paying attention to risks and conditions around you. Mountain riding is growing like crazy, making a point to talk about that stuff might literally save someone's life. Much respect.

[@joshuamacnabb2725]

Sled collisions, tree taps, sleds raining down on riders, and now avalanches! Crazy couple episodes. Outta three years never seen this many clustered close calls and here you got me puckered on the regular! Cheers

[@bobshams7231]

Awesome day of riding and learning just how unique an avy can be from slope to slope. Even right next to each other. And big props to Braydn for killing it on the 146 today!!!

[@unclegeek]

Glad you are all safe. Conditions change so quickly in areas so close to each other. Good reason to never ride alone. In 1992 I was smashed in a class 3 slab avi in the icefields area of Banff National Park. Thought I was smart, but more cocky than I knew. Nearly cost me my life. From awesome to a horror show. Never ride alone. A little slide can bury you enough to not be able to move for sure. I was shocked when everything stopped how set up the snow was. My head was above snow but I could not have undug myself further alone. Keep safe guys, your video was exceptional learning for those who don't know the danger is always lurking.

[@Kimbeattie]

My job for 38 years was investigating workplace accidents in Federal jurisdictions. 20 some years ago I investigated three individuals who were caught in a workplace accident avalanche. Their job was to do snow analysis for avalanche information risk, this was prior to the internet and you would phone a number and get the risk rating before you head to the mountains. 1 of these individuals was a winter mountain guide. They were ski touring into an area they had been many times and digging snow pits for risk assessment. They were caught in a slab avalanche when they were skiing out. One individual died, the other 2 lived. I went to the area where the avalanche happened it was just a small hill, it looked so innocuous. These individuals were well trained and they got caught. Be OVERSAFE when it comes to avalanche risk assessment. Really enjoy your riding but its not worth being buried alive for a rush. OVERSAFE. Live to ride another day. .

[@twadam5218]

Love the exposure you bring to real risks and keeping things realistic. Great information you bring to those in this type terrain. Thank you!

[@johnmackinnon9036]

I really don't understand why the sponsorship ain't trying to eat you up love the daily video and the little bit of teaching you can do over camera

[@colinstewart4395]

Hey Matt...gotta give a shout out to you today because this ride was on my birthday. I'm currently undergoing Cancer treatment in Kelowna and I look forward to seeing your content every morning...it really helps to raise my spirits. Even my wife is getting into it. I live in Fernie and I was only able to get one ride in at the start of December, but I hope to get some rides in at the end of the season if I've recovered enough. Your dad and the rest of the Jerry's are great fun to watch as I'm a Jerry myself. I'm 61 but try to ride like a 20 year old. LOL. Keep up the content...its awesome.

[@snobiwonkenobi]

Another great vid! Thanks for including the Avy footage. Also, I recognize the drainage with the tree you have to go under, from last years vid! Cool spot!

[@bengrant8890]

Just returned from 3 days at Rasmussen school in park city Idaho. Got a personal lesson with Brett on the last day. We did a drainage similar to what you do. Much respect on your skill level and awareness. I’m excited to challenge myself on the future when my area gets more snow. Thanks for the inspiration Matt.

[@williamutech4055]

watching this Monday evening and thank you so Matt for the avalanche information and education, leaving all of this in what a good call as maybe it can help someone and get them to second guess going into an area. Your 19 minutes of video today may just save someones life.

[@drifter5682]

Sad to hear Jason is leaving he's been a great addition to your crew Matt

Been watching you for years. Your riding never ceases to amaze me. Just amazing.

[@jeffharper6259]

Thanks Matt, please be safe while having fun.

[@CraigVanSickleAK]

8:09 Epic! Glad everyone was OK. Inconsistent snow is such a challenge to ride!

[@russellaffleck5044]

Glad you included the avy footage. Great learning tool.

[@MooseKnuckleMills]

Definitely show the avys. For me I watch what you guys are doing (way steeper then what I ride) and I think you guys never trigger anything so it kind of gives a false sense of security. Loving the vids. I found this one very helpful on how dangerous it is out there

[@gcow8328]

I think being in trees can give a false sense of security to, avy experts say if trees are far enough apart to ski through, the slope can slide.

[@MooseKnuckleMills]

Good to know thank you for that 👍

[@farmerman254]

That turbo sound will never get old

[@brianquarnstrom2000]

Excellent content with avalanche safety!!! It can happen anywhere. Always look forward to your daily content

[@wiscowheelies3917]

Another great adventure send some of that snow down to Wisconsin lol we need it keep shredding brother 👍

[@scottjacopian3191]

LOVIN IT! Ride HARD you can rest this summer! Put a camera on Jason's sled. That guy is BAD ASS!

[@weswhittier3216]

Great video, be safe and good call on getting while the getting was good!

[@darrellstagg8082]

You know you can ride chaallenging terrain when there a thousand riders sledding in same general area and you find zero tracks. Love the vids man!

[@PACK3NPANDA]

You’re awesome. All these amazing snow videos make me sooooo jelly!!! We got poop snow here in Idaho. Went yesterday was so crunchy with only about 6” of fresh. So lame.

[@adamnordstrom156]

First of all, you have an incredible channel and it is noticeable what development you have made only in the last year both as a rider and filmmaker. One thing I have thought about and felt that I wanted to mention (there will probably be many who don't agree with this) but in your clips, I actually think you drive better on the Polaris. Or at least I think your clips with the Polaris exceed the clips with the Ski-Doo. This comes from a person who has ridden both Ski-Doo and Polaris and is completely impartial. Continue with your awesome clips and your channel will grow incredibly much in the future no matter what brand you run!

[@danecousineau1286]

Your channel and videos are so underrated! Love the content👍.

[@Syxxes_Sledding]

Love your videos man keep UP the good work and i love your freeride and your polaris boost

[@ski-doosteve4623]

Dude, insane amount of people. I’ve never seen a sledding scene like that. Unbelievable

[@SledNutHamy]

[@marknewman8609]

Awesome you showed that the myth of "avys can't happen in the trees" is just that....A myth. Man the content just keeps getting better and better.

[@Skis_up_media]

Hahaha love my little clip at the start “muskokaa” 😂 thanks for putting that clip in there

[@daniellemmer1673]

Polaris had a plug on older 500's I the airbox to fight carb icing. It was easy to remove or install for conditions. Would work for deep snow days

[@buggsbunny01]

Yoo I wanna try a 600 700 800 mountain cause I love what you do and riding trails is boring and where I live there’s no laws on snowmobiles it’s great

[@RAM-19]

Your vids keep getting better every day....we all need to be cautious for next couple weeks...sledders/ice fisherman....warm Temps and rain coming...bad for avalanches....bad for ice....EVERYONE BEWARE....MOTHER NATURE HAS P.M.S. THIS YEAR....

[@Velislide]

Rivet on a flapper on the inside of your airbox, where the frog skins are. That way you can evac snow on the factory intakes when you burp it, and it shouldn't draw as much hot air, unless the factory locations are totally plugged.

[@backcountryshitok]

You know Matt's having fun when he's giggling like a school girl. Right on man. I do it too

[@zp9898]

Kitties do love climbing trees....mine loves it as much as snow

[@timclarke9346]

Good content...thanks again...good to hear about airbox vent....

[@expeditionbasset]

glad you put this in the video! Innocuous slopes are what kill most riders it seems

[@MuskokaFreerider]

I think I have just as much fun building jumps and watching the guys send it. the stoke level when you're there in person is so high

[@jordanflores22]

That bump jump to tree tho at 8:10😳😳😳😂😂💪🏼💪🏼

[@jiggyquinn5635]

One might argue that being able to set off an avalanche in a controlled safe manner is a positive thing vs. an unexpected trigger by *ignorant passers-by. Great video again 👏 thank you. *unaware , unsuspecting, distracted, I was in a group when a rider was trying to extricate his sled with his back to the hill. The hill sloughed off and buried him. Had many observers not been there it certainly would have been fatal. He never rode the mountains again 🙁

[@specforged5651]

“In the bush” he says. Thought you were Canadian!? 😂 Keep up the good work!

[@cheynedetwiler]

I love the laughing at 9:10

[@jc9601]

I dont think its a very good idea to poke extra holes in the boost airbox. That air box is specialy designed for boost and pressure. Vhok /boondocker is designing a snorkel for that sled to breath easier, vohk has a short vid on the issue and the fix. Vohk also a mentioned something about a sensor in the airbox. Pol is working on that as well.

[@christopherchase5940]

8:42 thanks for that...........good chit right there

[@greeneman99710]

SLP Powder valves are the ticket for the hole in your air box

[@Hondarider35]

Is sled season over for the year? If not how much longer? Are you in Colorado? I want to go and rent sleds and or snow bikes. I ride dirt bikes,quads, and sxs now. I haven’t ever ridden a snow mobile

He definitely did that and that and that and that. To bad it wasn't after the explaining part. 🤣

[@17gt350]

So seems to me you are favoring the Polaris? Is it gonna be official next season?

[@Trashcan321]

can you step off the sled and show how deep the snow actually is up there?

[@mareklehmann293]

What people need to understand about riding in avalanche terrain is its all about acceptable risk. These guys are expert riders and their risk level assessment, especially in complex terrain, is going to accept a much higher level of risk than your average rider. If you ride in the mountains you must know and accept your experience level. If you over estimate your skill level and acceptable risk level it can have serious consequences for you and who ever you're riding with.

[@DS-nk7vd]

Cowabunga dude, avalanches ain't a joke. Glad no people, animals, birds, or plants got buried by that slabber. Easy riding bud

it would be really cool to se the avy in real speed, to show how fast they trigger and how fast they are from start to finish. (the first one)

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

It doesn’t really surprise me about the avalanche. Snow followed warm,rain,ice,really cold and a lot more snow. And then Saturday night was really foggy in Revy which means it was warmer. I would be learry of every slope. Stay safe out there 🌲
