  • This past winter Nick McNutt was skiing in the North Cascades when he faced the most dangerous element of big mountain skiing, an avalanche. Fortunately the Canadian showcased not only his strength as a skier, but his ability to perform under pressure. Nick was able to point his skis and safely ski out of the avalanche. This was captured while he was filming for Teton Gravity Research’s new film “Tight Loose”. The full movie is available now for digital download and on DVD.

    Remember this guy's an expert. If you ever end up in front of an avalanche, don't try to outrun it, just try to go upslope to a divide and out of it's way. Notice how he wasn't skiing directly under it for very long and he got onto a divide as soon as he could.

    Nick McNutt is an awesome skier and this is a sick clip. But... they really should have a "don't try this at home" sort of strap line somewhere so that people don't think they can just out run an avalanche! Get some skills before going into the back country people - the best way to survive an avalanche is to avoid triggering it in the first place. Knowledge is power! (And safety).

    I feel TGR does a better job at showcasing the dangers and not brushing the risks they take aside when compared to other popular videos, especially as of late. The warning signs were there and they have far better capabilities to retrieve someone than your average backcountry skier/snowboarder. I still think this is becoming too much, each year we seem to lose another pro or more because they are constantly pushing the limits and are crunched on time to meet their contracts. While I love seeing someone ride out of one, I appreciate those who opt out altogether even more. Long comment short, make smart decisions people, this stuff looks cool but would brutally kill 99.99% of us.

    Hallo
    Vielen Dank für den ausgezeichneten und lehrreichen Film. Gratuliere, super erklärt und gemacht. Ich hoffe diesen Film sehen die zwei grobfahrlässigen Bergführer vom Lawinenunfall an der Jungfrau im Juli 2007. Damals sind 6 Militär-Rekruten ums Leben gekommen.
    Es hatte in 48 Stunden vor dem Unglück 120cm geschneit. Die zwei Bergführer sind am ersten Tag danach in einen 45 Grad steilen Hang an der Jungfrau, oberhalb dem Rottalsattel eingestiegen. Es wurde ein Schneebrett ausgelöst, und 6 Rekruten stürzten 1000m in die Tiefe. Unglaublich, die 2 Bergführer wurden vom Militargericht freigesprochen.
    Ich wünsche gute Touren.
    Mit alpinen Grüssen
    Raphael Wellig aus der Schweiz
