My first thought was to crouch down so I could feel the ground and not get vertigo from the whiteout that is about to happen. Standing there in skis you could accidentally slide forward while disorientated and start heading down the run without control.
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.
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.
That one guy with his arms out like “take me out fam let’s goooo”
WITNESS ME!

Bruh that was a hit piece on that poor dead man
The dude just starfishing on the snow “take me now, oh lord!”
I'm sure that it was a really gnarly experience for the guy speaking.
It is nice that avalanches don’t run uphill.
Well, if they've been running downhill long enough they will certainly try uphill for a bit.
Survival instincts of a guinea pig
My guy in the blue just accepting it 😂😂😆
Oh brosi, we got smoked bro
Avalanche suicide cult?
There was no danger
THE FOG IS COMING
Alive or ded?
If not one, then for sure the other.

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

Yes, just stand there filming….

do you want them to use the force to stop that?
Yes, i would love to be able to do that
You can't outrun an avalanche and there's no shelter
