Don't think there's avalanches in Myoko? Think again, and be careful up there. This video taken last March (2011)

2011.3.5 Huh?

Thanks for putting that up! I have it on my site as well—for the avalanche, as well as the guys' actions: "The powder part slid once, so let's look for more potential disasters!" People watch too many ski videos.... I've had people request that they have the chance to ski out of avalanches! Avoid them; study, dig, live.

Who stole Bill's video?  Huh

Hand going up...  Embarrassed

Thanks for the comment Bill. Saw the video on your site and thought it would be good to stick it up here and raise some awareness.

You can learn a lot watching this video.

I would like to think that if I was one of the guys at the top seeing this thing slide (apart from being grateful I wasn't being buried in it!) that I definitely would NOT, repeat NOT, drop down a carbon copy (same aspect, same pitch, and untouched) of a slope that had just slid! I think (without being able to see the surrounding terrain to see how else I would get down) I would descend exactly where the previous avalanche went down. The theory being that it's already slid just there and there's not much more to slide.
