Am I the only one that thinks something so dangerous looks so beautiful?

Just incredible, Thank you

That shot of the avalanche flowing at 16:25 is absolutely gorgeous.
@titter3648 Says:
The helmet cam video of the avalanche hitting him was so freaking intense. It hits him so hard and fast.

There is a third type beside Dry Loose and Wet Loose which can be triggered by dancing in abandoned buildings. It's called Footloose.

There's another type of avalanche, one where you gotta dance...
That's called Footloose.

I don't understand why people ski or surf
@thorbrandal1870 Says:
Thanks for the video. I will show my son who is interested in snowboarding. Another reference book is, "The Avalanche Handbook" by David McClung and Peter Schaerer, published by, The Mountaineers. Very thorough and covers everything from avalanche formation to safety, rescue, and preventative measures.

This reminded me of how Mulan triggered an avalanche
@NewMatildaDotCom Says:
Honestly… the quality of this channel just never disappoints. I think it’s probably the best channel on YouTube.
@azdaze227 Says:
So you are telling me, that people actually get paid to ski over to a spot and then set off an explosive to cause an avalanche? And sometimes they ride in helicopters and just chuck the explosives out the window? Where do I sign up?
Edit: and now I get to the part about literally shooting mortars at it. I wanna go to war with snow, I don't even care that I'm from the desert and terrible with cold, I will be the new creator of avalanches, the spawner of snowslides if you will.

@AdamRajterowski Says:
Awesome video. Really great knowledge and aligns with all my avalanche training and the books. I am surprised to the level of detail and accuracy you got into this video. Seriously bravo! Only nuance is the airbag doesn't actually increase bouyancy (or at least it isn't characterized this way), it is a principal of granular convection, where larger particles settle to the surface, kind of like if you had stones and sand in a jar and shook it, the sand would filter to the bottom. An interesting phenomenom in itself, which I guess may be considered buoyancy.

Nice thanks 🙏🏻
@andersmelin4085 Says:
Crossing the sloop is a big no-no!
If going down potential dangerous terrain, one should make very tight turns.
@SL1PPY_SH4RK_ Says:
I’m going to be honest, I thought avalanches just happened because there was just too much snow… I didn’t know there was this many variables to it
@yuankanghuang4542 Says:
Whistler and Blackcomb are also Windows code names, and there’s a bar called longhorn in between, that is also a Windows code name 😂
@simpledj509chromo7 Says:
I've triggered a few sluffs in my day and it's not a good feeling. We really don't have terrain steep enough aside from Execution to trigger an actual slide. But ski patrol stays on top of that run because it could slide given the right snow conditions. Stay safe out there everyone. Carry a beacon, a probe, a shovel (at minimum), and get avi training if you're going into a zone where an actual slide may take place. I'd rather drink a beer with you than talk to someone and buy you a beer after your passing.
@hakanakgun7337 Says:
It is sad to see that in this video self organized criticality, sandpile model and power laws are not examined which are really related with avalanches. Can consider doing a follow up in this respect.
@JuiceBoxScott Says:
Isn't powder mountain a larger ski area? Seems like a pretty simple unforced error by a fact based channel.
@P.N.W.adventures Says:
I love Whistler so much.
@klznstudios2393 Says:
From @22:13 All I was thinking about was "why are you still finding ways to do this shiih?"
Anything but to just not do it....

Great video. Love the visuals, Interviews and explanations.

Lesson: Running into a nasty hoar on the ski slopes is not as fun as is sounds. 💃⛷️

Who carries such a big shovel while skiing?
@lecho0175 Says:
16:28 name of that song?
@jeremiasnater4288 Says:
how does the probe work though
@yuriveerman7031 Says:
hey. not watching this one. My sister died in an avalanche a year ago. it'll have to be a next video for me
@FreuRozen Says:
In the past, I often thought that people who looked pranky and deliberately made avalanche were stupid people. Now I regret it because they actually did preventive things.
@xiaoranfan9804 Says:
20:07 what’s the purpose of a shovel if you have a flamethrower or grenades or a blowtorch?
@GuidoHaverkort Says:
Very interesting how the more angular crystals are the ones that don't stick together. With soil it's the opposite, the round ones are loose and the more angular granules make a sturdier soil. Does anybody know why that is?
@murdo_mck Says:
"For a long time, skiers who ventured up Conundrum Creek in winter were regarded as crazy fools." - Lito Tejada-Flores. A V shaped valley in Colorado's backcountry which is prone to powder snow avalanches. They come down one side of the valley at 200 mph and stop as they go up the other side. The best (only) survival technique is to be somewhere else.
@craigbosko2229 Says:
It's not just a matter of checking out the AVALANCHE FORECAST it's also making a SNOWPIT, 3 OF THEM ARE IDEAL 10-15 FEET APART FROM ONE ANOTHER.
@craigbosko2229 Says:
2023--2024, there were alot of Avalanches within the boundaries of, BRITISH COLUMBIA, IDAHO, MONTANA, WYOMING, UTAH (2 skiers were killed) COLORADO, CALIFORNIA (tohoe area) NEVADA AND NEW MEXICO.

A better way in saying it, " There's only 2 ways in triggering a Avalanche,Mother Nature and People.

Why does ol boy keep miss pronouncing avalanche?

You make wonderful videos! 👏 Need some advice: 🙏 I have a set of words 🤷♂️. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What is this? 🤔

Thank you.
Over sixty years ago, I wish I had seen this video before venturing into the Sierra Nevadas. Topographic maps kept me safe.
Thanks again. Chief
