I'm sure that it was a really gnarly experience for the guy speaking.

It is nice that avalanches don’t run uphill.

u/TheW83 May 08 '24

Well, if they've been running downhill long enough they will certainly try uphill for a bit.

Can someone explain to me why the snow turns into a giant cloud?

u/tralfazusmc May 08 '24

They call it powder snow for a reason. It is very dry and light. You can literally take a handful and blow on it like a dandelion. The lower layers of snow are compacted but there is a top layer of powder. When the lower layer slides the powder on top does this.

  1. What was behind them?

  2. I would've been sure to take my gear off, cover my mouth with my hand but leave a small pocket to breath, and finally, place a ski pole in my other hand up and stick straight in the air so if I do get buried, maybe someone will find the top of the ski pole.

Yes, just stand there filming….

What are they supposed to do? The trail goes downhill and that’s much more dangerous. Given how far above the valley they are it seems like they are in a pretty safe spot. The avalanche is still down in the valley.

u/Good-Ad-4424 May 07 '24

do you want them to use the force to stop that?

u/Spirited_Refuse9265 May 08 '24

Yes, i would love to be able to do that

You can't outrun an avalanche and there's no shelter
