Skier Triggers Avalanche

Friday 14 August 2009 @ 3:23 pm by

This skiing video starts with some nice shots of people skiing in the glades. A skier then skis down a clearing between some trees in the backcountry and then you can see an avalanche starting. The skier then falls and the avalanche becomes huge. Pretty scary stuff, doesn’t even look like avalanche prone terrain.

This extreme skiing video was filmed by National Geographic.

    Good job there was a tree there to break his fall otherwise he would have been buried….
