Wow."These are crazy times Mr Hatter, crazy times. Crazy like Buddha! Muwahaha!"

good video, but his conclusion why the slide looks wet is pretty strange
it is more conclusive that it was september (spring) and had gotten really warm further down as you can see where the avie does not go off. There are plenty of water tracks running down the mountain. So ----> wet avalanche further down.It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

I just happened to be there to watch it in person. It was F'ing unreal to see.
I made a post about it last year. My video isn't hosted anymore, but I'll upload another copy later on if anyone wants to see it.

makes you think more indepth about what is above you as you tour - not just above you as in the 100-1000 feet you can see, but what's above that. When I took a Canadian Ski Guide course back in 97, that was the message they said more than anything else - think about the consequences and then think broader than you're currently thinking.
Great vid, thanks for posting it."In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, — no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair." -Emerson
