[WJenness]

Crazy video that shows an avalanche first hand.

A reminder to be careful in the BC. Some interesting comments below the video too:

I was just about to post this.

It's real time while the guy is burried. Very intense.

Another example. Always wear your beacon!!!!!! Don't leave home without it.

Wow! That's some really freaky stuff!

Scary stuff! Thank goodness he was found so quickly--but I'm sure it didn't feel that way to him!

Wow does that bring back some memories.I was catskiing in British colunbia 5 years ago and was buried in a small avi.I would actually call it a slough.It was about a 6 inch slab and took me for a tumble a few hundred feet and only buried me above the waist with my head sticking out.Scary.What a sight that must have been for this guy to see the rescuers.
