...I want my money back

[@sergeyasmine]

That avalanche was the cutest thing i've seen in years.

[@bohanan5851]

my thoughts too. all 6 inches deep of it.

[@PacoOtis]

Damn, if she wasn't!! LOL

[@Erated78]

LOL

[@WHEELIEPRO856]

that was the weakest avalanche ive ever seen period lol

[@JayRexS]

it's always the strongest and most brutal avalanches that will get you..

[@MeIchom]

Wow so you've seen an avalanche first hand?

[@Kthomasritchie]

Well, I wouldn't want to be buried in it.

[@duckydrummer6331]

Holy Smokes!! It's like when you think you're going to sneeze.....and it goes away. Darn it!

[@Okanoggin]

When you watch a small avy in youtube: "aww its a baby sluff, cute!" When you ride a small avy in real life: "Arrgghherfffffffulllllfwooooouhgggllllllfwoooo"

[@jayphillips4058]

Came for an avalanche, saw a slough.

[@WHEELIEPRO856]

i think she is a terrific news reporter and very hot too

[@chazzrobbo]

i agree... i would :P

[@traviskale1313]

Chazz Robbo only d-bags are named Chazz and say things like "I would."

[@bartholomewlyons]

That crew…risking lives for 🔥🔥 content for us 😂😂😂

[@jltrack]

10 years later, it is still underwhelming

[@fuzzydunlop1757]

I came to see an avalanche but I stayed for *Kelsey McEwen* what a gorgeous woman ..

[@fastasfox]

I could have cleaned that up with a dustpan!

[@SuperLeo1011]

Me and my grandma could have stood in front of that avalanche lol

[@ruthwoodin550]

Any highway going through the mountains of British Columbia during the winter have signs that say "avalanche area - do not stop" These signs are obviously put up because one day old Harold & Martha were driving through our mountains heading to Vancouver for Christmas. They heard the roar over the sound of their stereo playing 60's music, so stopped & grabbed their new camera to take a picture of the avalanche to show to the family. That particular avalanche was not like the one shown in this cute little video.

[@MrChancebandit]

Look at that little bit of snow wow

[@BKarstensSmith]

Are you people serious? It's not like she was told how much snow would come down. I would be terrified if I had to stand there on TV as an unknown amount of snow poured down a mountain towards me! I dare any of you to try and do that. None of you would have the guts and you sure wouldn't be able to do it with half the composure she did. Shame on you for publicly judging someone you don't know for doing something you could never do. You're terrible people.

[@nealbarrus9140]

That was anticlimactic, I've skied in bigger avalanche.

[@deltaweldman]

Hang on, I going for the broom to clear the avalanche.

[@vintagerules5207]

I bet I wouldn’t of pressed the dislike button if her jacket was off

[@Ktonrider]

She said “here it comes” 😂

[@charron1]

not sure what is more cute, Avalanche or the reporter

[@milesemerson313]

Hilarious, like gurl. Record yourself lmaooo

[@KevAlberta]

I don’t even think they need to shovel it off the road after. Ive driven through more snow after a light snowfall

[@vknyvz]

where was the avalanche?

[@RawGolfChannel]

Holy fuck is that woman gorgeous... she enunciate's her word nicley as well.

[@Im-just-Stardust]

Hollyyy shit ... That video was funny but I think the comment worth watching much more

[@softhotty]

Impressive avalanche for a tiny town snow village.

[@PacoOtis]

She is a bit distracting! LOL Excellent reported and thanks for sharing and the very best of luck!

[@tre.j3589]

I’ve seen snow balls bigger than that.

[@ejones9924]

Avalanche just farted

[@Chad-sv9tu]

So what happened?

[@daviddrane6643]

I've toured that Highway a few times. but never in the winter. looks cold and crappy . Nice drive in the summer tho...

[@RIXRADvidz]

Keep that Awe and Reverence ready for Nature, it never disappoints.

[@LKBproductions14]

Why didnt it show???

[@Bribickhed6]

2:23 the men are driving away probably saying “that was bad”

[@theclimbingchef]

Don't be fooled by this video, itcan run much bigger than this

[@drdave2468]

Why is she wearing a ski pass on the highway while giving a tv report? Hehe

[@Mrs15swain05]

U call this AVALANCHE?? How dare you...

[@pizzasubs]

well at least they didnt trigger a bigger one that could have completly blocked the road they were on, that would have been a big OOOOOOOPSE.....LOL

[@USAMontanan]

Don’t laugh, Mother Nature always bats last.

[@tombear31]

That's it too cheap,good thing the news reporter is hot what kept me watching

[@ursulasoames8602]

Am still waiting for the avalanche 👍😝 ! ( mind you am from Switzerland ⛄️!)

[@ricstormwolf]

Anyone else kinda, underwhelmed? 🤔

[@Kizzmycntryazz]

All that hype the reporter did made it sound like something big..... what a waste of air time.

[@savannaswildnatureworkshop7810]

nothing much to see. and nothing to learn either....too much coffee for this gal...

[@Josh.015]

My home region is getting recognition

[@irishmusico]

I suppose you had to be there ;)

[@g.olyphant3259]

Why all the dislikes

[@naveentiku3106]

Is this a Canadian thing? Just asking

[@mikexdee3195]

😂 that was a cute avalanche

[@hittin3s]

so basically if i was in the middle of the street while that came down i would die? wouldn't it just knock me over and keep going?

[@MIKEAOSHEA]

I'd give her one...crap avalanche though

[@nitinbhakta4787]

lol. You call that an avalanche?

[@Jody1000]

WOW.....not

[@TheTamilian]

Talk about click bait.

[@bb-yj3yt]

no big deal

[@stevebarton5219]

why have u got storm chasers it's not a storm is it because it cheaper than avalanche control

[@merkin22]

"live avalanche" Ah, the state of the English language in the hands (mouths) of broadcasters....

[@AlanTClark]

Not much of an avalanche when you can still drive-through it. I've seen bigger avalanches on a toboggan hill.

[@constructionxinc]

That’s it? Lmfao 🤣

[@bsanchez8052]

What Avalanche?

[@AmarSingh-ux2fq]

If you would really like to get your Weather Channel up there maybe you should capture a serious avelanche

[@stuiep19832012]

"thrilling"

[@Howtech55]

No one else sees Kristen Bell here?

[@LEMIREJ1]

WTF. picking nose....

[@Ronbo710]

Oh the horror. It almost added some to the road lofl.

[@barringtonmorris90]

That was nothing

[@agangrt]

thats it?

[@IWDTC]

Wasn't much..

[@rds990]

God I love the mountains !!

[@v12tommy]

That's it? We have avalanches here in Colorado that can be up to a mile wide. Meanwhile, I could drive over that without them even plowing the road.

[@j.e4505]

All I saw was snow dust.. Woooooo

[@deullist]

Anyone have a shovel?

[@dead91silvia]

Video kinda lame... She is pretty cute.

[@patmcbride9853]

She is cute as a button, but that was lame.

[@AwosAtis]

LOL! Did it squeak or something?

[@notorious395]

good thing no one was it that danger zone

[@Twaggy101]

Well she’s very easily impressed. 😂🙄

[@pchdreamer]

danger zone? id stand in front of it drinking a cup of tea and it wouldn't budge me hahaha

[@bruh-bq8vv]

Hail club penguin

[@BaiTudorache]

She should talk less

[@JFaber]

She's pretty.

[@lomax7871]

Lol it was incredible she said

[@ianpjs19]

lucky for you

[@kyboj]

Chuck norris could snort that

[@hamitron0384]

That was very boring

[@adumbchannelfrom10monthsag83]

thank you

[@soulfiree88]

Um ok

[@TinkerPrepper]

Typical weather channel making a lame story into an overly dramatic one! I could tell the reporter was thinking to her self, "That was it! 2" of freaken snow ran across the road!"

[@darylmorse]

Kind of lame, actually. Little baby avalanche...

[@bashafacin]

lame

[@Zyworski]

Somehow I fail to be impressed.

[@duncanhill3953]

Big deal

[@Josh.015]

I have been here

[@vrccb]

Epic avalanche fail.

[@Im-just-Stardust]

at least shes very hot

[@randywest2938]

Attempt to summon nature and prepare to be disappointed The reporter best be grateful it was not a pyroclastic surge. For, in their own respective way, they are virtually the same phenomena. Just vastly different consequences

[@heightsofsagarmatha]

They're the same phenomena? Well avalanches are like snow in a liquidized form, pyroclastic flows are rocks/mud in liquidized form...is that what you mean?

[@greasemonkeypol]

smoke avalanche

[@ek94dr]

I would rather watch paint dry! Lmao

[@Allaby]

Wow. That was so exciting

[@butternut741]

Not incredible

[@freedomrider266]

Pretty cool stuff!
