  • uruururr, on 10/23/2009, -0/+8there were two avalanches in the video. a small one at the top, and then a bigger one that happens underneath him after he stands up again. the second one was much bigger.
  • TSK05, on 10/23/2009, -1/+8Hell, he outran it for quite a while.. If he had just stayed where he was, he'd probably be dead.
  • CJDesign, on 10/23/2009, -1/+5 nice one henry.... must be the worse feeling knowing that an avalanche is heading for you and nothing you can do to out run it....
