west yellowstone avalanche march 11 2012

[@CANADIAN3699]

THIS IS WHY YOU RIDE WITH PEOPLE YOU TRUST great video!!!!!

[@sledguy910]

Perfect example of one on the hill at a time. Single riders pounded that, what, 8-10 times, but as soon as 2 guys were on it together it came down. Glad you guys were all ok.

[@ashemgold]

I saw two riders in the slide. One near and one all the way on the other side. While the hero who abandoned his ride (truly) was tending to the near rider, I would have opened up my machine and helped the other rider. But, at 4:19 it seems, the other rider in the Avalanche is giving the thumbs up and the cam rider then responds and tends to the near rider. Heroism on all sides! Kudos. Very scary stuff!

[@CloseGuardFilms]

I rode the Lionshead area about a week before this and the snow was falling down heavy and we came up to a slope that had recently slid...spooky stuff! Great Area to ride all day though and nice sleds!

[@ravingfurryforlife]

Your awesome! love to see people save others like this.

[@aaronvanaaken3509]

that rider at 1:25 broke rule #1 only one rider on the mountain at a time

[@WESTGuideTAS]

I'm glad you guys are alright! You should really appreciate everyday on earth after that one! I re-uped my Aval. saftey course last year, something like 90% of fatalities are flatlanders, I found myself warning every single one I ran into. Good luck, be safe!

[@seekeroftruth69]

I enjoyed the fact that the guy was like, fuck the sled sliding away, and focused his concern on a fellow human being. faith restored!

[@jakebonnert2569]

I'm glad to see they have carbon fiber helmets and klim coats sped the cash where it counts who needs any bags.

[@bob15479]

I don't think avalanche airbags existed at the time and if they did they were so uncommon most people didn't know they existed

[@thedriven1415]

Mark Brand they existed they were just shitty and heavy, plus it is a 9% increase in survivle. What a hugggggggggggggeeeee différence that would make

[@martinjanoschek6867]

One at a time!

[@skpanderson]

Skip to 3:35 for the avalanche

[@nickgraupman8457]

Your a god

[@iBayStyle]

good friends that just ditch your snowmobile to go help your friend. good job!

[@pwertoreekin]

camera guy: "ill follow you"...avy..."maybe ill go over here"

[@chrishansenable]

@mxsmitz201 it was the back side of lionshead. temp was around 30-35

[@forrestcarlson9117]

sledders be like "theres no way this 600+ pounds of vibration and noise is gonna break that slab loose when i go crosscutting it right near the top!! S'go!!"

[@offroad804]

That was crazy! good thing everyone was okay! I'm planning on going to revel stoke for the first time to go riding go any tips?

[@mxsmitz201]

wow where was this in west yellowstone? I was there from the 1st to the 5th of march right when they got all their new snow, i think it warmed up pretty good after we left.

[@IGoProEVERYTHING]

It is because of the wide angle lense. With a HERO 2 on the bumper of my car I can be almost touch another car and through the camera it is like I am two car lenghts away.

[@madmicahshu]

Come on guys, one guy on a hill at a time.

[@TheEverydaynormal]

luckily everyone was okay-this is not always the case. =(

[@raybailey2937]

Why dont u have a seat

[@MrJimmydeez]

Wow I wish I could have been there for that. Did you guys learn anything from that, was your buddy OK? I have buddies that pull that same shit when riding, I wait and tell them not to ride on it when I am, if they do I just don't ride it anymore. And guess what they are from MT just like me. The only difference is I started sledding so I could access better skiing. You learn real quick that avalanches are going to happen and taking precautions like the 1 at a time rule is a must.

[@TOPROLLER101]

so true

[@SwampDonkey530]

THAT'S FUCKIN' CRAZY.!!!
