gerard 6 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 This one is interesting. Apparently these guys had a 'safety conference' before the three of them dropped into that 'secure looking' slope all at once. Lots of educational video on this youtube channel. Link to post Share on other sites
gurgle 0 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Wow, it looks like they were carried a long way. Amazing that they were not a little more banged up. Link to post Share on other sites
Timmyhugecans 0 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 looked like a lot of moving snow there also, what king of safety meeting I wonder?? Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Yeah, supposedly they had already realized that the snow wasn't stable before dropping in so you'd think they would have tried to practice some form of safe skiing. Amazing how they all drop in at the same time, skiing just a few meters apart from each other. It also looks like they might have been able to avoid the brunt of the avalanche had they not gone straight down the center. They guy on the skier's left was definitely in a better position than the other two. Link to post Share on other sites
Sammy5 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 A 'Safety Conference' is also a euphemism for sharing a joint in some parts of our troubled world... Link to post Share on other sites

Scary. They had the gear and the guy who died had a Master's degree in something avalanche related. Link to post Share on other sites
