Skier falls into Hidden Waterfall 15ft under the snow

OMG. Add this to very unexpected on a mountain.
This unfortunate skier was skiing around the mountainous terrain of Hokkaido, Japan, when he uncovered a completely hidden waterfall and fell into the creek below. Sean Toms was carving up the snow on March 4, when the snow suddenly fell away and his GoPro captured the chasm open up as he plummeted down below. He fell approximately 5-6 metres into the natural hot spring as the snowy walls towered around him.

Wow! Scary.

If it wasn’t a hot spring he would have frozen to death (although it wouldn’t have been an open chasm in that case).

Its a great Scene for a future ski movie of his. Yard sale resulted in one ski was many feet down the stream path and one ski was left released at the TOP.

This happened in Aspen Extreme too.
