      Not so epic for an avalanche safety video though. This gentleman could have easily been broken himself on the rocks and while seemingly riding alone. And even with an airbag and no injuries , self rescue isn’t always possible. Glad he lived and hope he learned.

    AMAZING...Thanks for sharing this. Glad you're okay! I have been skiing for well over 30 years, mostly in the wind scoured Eastern Rockies. I would have probably made the same decision, especially considering that things are almost "always wind loaded"...your video is gonna make me probe/cut/probe more carefully. What a ride. It scared the heck outta me, which is good!

    Thank you for this video, very educational. Even with low avalanche risk wind is always the biggest risk to avalanches because it always creates a reletive weak layer compared to the hard pressed slab.
    Glad you are okay, I would suggest riding with a friend and I'm glad the airbag kept you on top of it.

    Good you're allright 🙌 In the video you see very strong wind from the right which made a big sideloaded windslap which was probably most weakest at the top right in the couloir. Thats probably also why you trigered it on the second run when you decided to go more to the right side. Thanks for sharing!

      As the skier said, first time through he kept more to the left so wasn't really skiing on the slab which was actually quite narrow and relatively thin. He goes right onto the middle of the slab on the second run. In the time between the runs the slab would have picked up more snow due to the drifting. Lucky he didn't injure anything.

      Just an honest observation, but that windloaded slab was super obvious even on your first run - tons of wind scouring, the plastic sound of a wind-loaded slab, the tough, icy texture of a wind loaded slab, etc. Unless the avy report was green, you had some familiarity with the year’s snowpack, and you’d dug a pit on that slope to confirm that all those visual cues weren’t telling you something, that slope looked (to me) like an absolute no-go. I’m sure you’ve been rewatching the video over and over again - it’ll help you develop an eye for the signs.

    @julianbreitler 11 месяцев назад +14

    This isn't meant personal and just for education, but if you didn't see the clear signs of wind loading in that couloir you should reconsider your decision making skills when freeriding. At 1:10 you kann clearly see how the rigth part of the couloir is in the Lee side of the wind and how it is beeing loaded with drifted snow. The formig of that new wind lib should be a warning sign. The weather was good and you could clearly tell the line between drfited snow and hard pack that has been cleaned of by the wind (were you skied during your first run). And at that exact line the avalanche broke of. During your first run you had luck because when you crossed the to the rigth near the rock wall (0:52), into the wind loaded bit, the slab was probaly thick enough to support you in that moment. You didn't cross it in a spot were it goes from very thin to thick snow. During the second run you crossed into the wind slab at the border between hardpack and windloaded snow, were it was very thin therefor cutting the weak layer with your skies and triggering the avalanche. Hope you are ok and be careful, this could have ended badly. Have fun freeriding and shred on! P.S. if there are similar conditions in the future and you still want to ride that couloir, go to the skiers rigth side of the wind lib (1:10), stop and try to trigger the wind lib or the slab with pressing or stepping on the snow pack with one ski. With that you can test the snow pack really quickly and still be out of harms way, but only do this if you are sure that the avalanche can't drag you down if you trigger something.
    Cheers 🤙

      Thank's for your comment, really appreciate it. I obviously saw the wind drifted snow, like 90% of time there's wind drifted snow here, so I didn't see it as anything out of ordinary, to be honest it was part of reason why I chose that line, everywhere else was hard and icy and here there usually is softer snow (but it comes with a risk). The pressing/stepping on snow pack is technique I frequently use.

      That's the exact spot at least Swiss and Tyrolian avalanche reports point out in their avalanche reports "in the transition from ... to ... weak layers, single skier can trigger avalanche" or "close to ridge lines where snow depth changes". Looking at the steepness of the terrain you are probably right at the edge for "too steep for moderate"

    classic wind slab. That did not look stable at all to me, because you weren't penetrating it. It was a giant slab wafer in the gully. A good line to point it down in my opinion. It's impossible to know with certainty snow stability (25 years skilled backcountry snowboarder and previous mountain/avi rescue worker). Assume everything will slide EVERY time you shred.✌

    • @freeriderxfd6827
      @freeriderxfd6827  11 месяцев назад +6

      Most of time there's wind drifted snow there, so I did not see it as anything out of ordinary. Sometimes you go for the risk and it gets you back. The last sentence I agree 100% ( that's why I wear all safety gear and have airbag ready even if the slope is icy).

    • @majo-ty3qq

      Make no certainties. There is no ordinary. Only the right now.
      A pole punch could have shown you the wind board. 1:08 shows wind loading/small cornice formation.
      Looks like you got up into the thinner part of the slab on the second run.
      Every slope, every time is different. You change/affect the structure every time you or others ride it. Active wind loading changed it in between your runs, too.
      Glad you are alright.

  • @hamiltonian42
    @hamiltonian42 11 месяцев назад

    Not at all surprised. Slope stability can vary significantly even a few metres apart. Repeat loading, varying loading, turn pressure etc will all have an effect. A basic avalanche safety course will highlight all this. What was the local avi forecast, for that aspect, altitude etc? Did you dig a snowpit? What were the results? If not, just a gamble... And airbags will not save you from terrain traps or rock walls & drops.... You were lucky!

      @bl00df4rt 10 месяцев назад +1

      I believe he just hit that perfect trigger point on the lee side of that rock/cliff feature where a small wind slab had formed. I can't be super sure because the video moves pretty quick, but this wind slab did not look well represented throughout the rest of the zone's snowpack. The first run was safer because he stayed out of this slab; the second (as he states), he went .5M to the right - directly into that wind deposited snow on the lee side of the rock feature. That's where this failed. I don't think an ECT was going to show significant signs of instability unless he dug it directly in the spot where it slid or underneath a nearly identical lee facing rock feature. I am not super seasoned in my snowpack studies, but I think this is one of those lottery failures; everything looks fine, it was just that last second decision to turn into that under represented wind deposited snow. Take away - stay away from possible trigger points like directly under lone standing rocks, large trees, bushes.

      Dosku som videl. Bolo to myslené na to, že pri tej prvej jazde som nevidel trhliny, malé odtrhy, nepočul podozrivé zvuky a tak. Doska tam býva nafúkaná prakticky vždy, tak som ju podcenil.

      I did not. I thought about it. I made few rides afterwards and kept looking if there were rescue teams coming to that location, in case somebody has called so I could tell that everything was ok. I chose not to call in case there was another avalanche close by and somebody needed help so that they don't get confused.

    Beginner mistakes:
    Too slow and too high at the shoulder. At the shoulder(?) the snow layers are thinner and disturbing the critical layer is easier. ☝🏿🧐

      Well it was first propper day of riding in season and first rides in nearly month time (due to other duties in life), so of course I did not ride as fast and as confident as at the end of the season. I'm no beginner, but mistakes do happen, nobody's perfect.

    Well lack of instability is only a, wrong, impression you got. There is a reason why mountaineers will actually dig in the snow with a shovel, and perform a more thorough test while looking at the snow layers to judge how stable the snow is. Simply because you cannot judge the danger when you are gliding on top of the most recent layer and you don't know what is below it. You are lucky, but how much effort did you put into evaluating the situation? I see in the mountains (especially since ski touring got so popular) that people do a lot of YOLO things

    • @angusmcdugal1
      @angusmcdugal1 11 месяцев назад +3

      You would have never found that layer "digging in the snow". This was a Hard Slab avalanche from wind deposition. Recognize wind slabs, especially hard wind slabs, and stay off of them.

    • @freeriderxfd6827
      @freeriderxfd6827  11 месяцев назад +1

      I agree. As it held first ride I got false impression that it's somewhat safe (obviously I know and I knew that avalanche can trigger even if the slope has already been ridden). Digging snow profile is certainly really good practice (though to have exact impression of snow layer at particular place you need to be in "danger zone" which cannot always be safely accesed, and then you need to dig at base of slope or different slope of same character, that can potentionally give you safe profile, but on the top it can then be different story, but yes, snow pits provide valuable information). I did not dig that day, if I was ski touring and climbig up that slope to ride it down I would take a look at snow profile. As this is freeride zone easilly accesible by lift, I did not dig (and to be honest I am not sure if anyone who goes lift accesed freeriding here digs here, I've never seen anyone here do that). To make profile you would need to either ride down that slope first or climb from bottom. Before skiing here I read local avalache bulletin, I look at snow profiles published by rescue service and look at the weather from past days. Then on top of slopes I look at the snow, recent avalanches and I do test snowpack by jumping on it to see if crack appear. Sometimes you just go for it, even though you know it is not exactly safe (It's stupid to say, I know). This particular couloir starts about half-way down the face, route here was hard and ice, with zero powder/wind drifted snow. This couloir 90% of time has wind drifted snow, also once you stand on top of it, you don't have much else to go I have to commit to riding down here.

    Hallo Weird
    Ich hoffe es geht Dir gut. Vielen Dank für die Nachfrage, und Dein Interesse. Nein ich war nicht mehr bei Bewusstsein. Ich bin ganz ruhig, frei, angenehm und sachte eingeschlafen. Es war eine Nahtod Erfahrung... Ich habe einen hellen Kanal gesehen. Ich war 120cm tief im Schnee verschüttet.
    Irgendwann ( nach 8 Minuten ) bin ich dann aufgewacht, und habe den blauen Himmel gesehen. Die Kollegen sagten mir, Du lebst, der Helikopter kommt. Ohne so grossartige Berg Freunde mit einem so genialen Wissen und retten wäre ich tot.
    Ich wünsche Dir gute Berg- und Skitouren. Vielen Dank für Deinen Film.
    Mit alpinen Grüssen

    Možná se zkusit zamyslet nad hůlkama s nasazenýma řemínkama a vypínací sílou vázka. No ale je fajn, že to tentokrát vyšlo, nic jste neztratil a mohl tedy dokončit sjezd ;-)

    • @freeriderxfd6827
      @freeriderxfd6827  11 месяцев назад +1

      Vím, že řemínka na hůlkách není dobré mít, je to ale taková osobní preference si je nasadit. Vypínací sílu taky mám dost velikou, v minulosti jsem měl DIN 11 a při běžném oblouku mi to vyplo, od té doby nosím 13 což je dobré na náročný terén, samozřejmě horší na les a takovéto situace, je to taky taková osobní preference.
