I just in awe of that Peruvian slide. The avalanche hit a glacier, breaking the glacier free and it turned into an avalanching glacier and hit a town. Serious end of days shit.

If you have to ask you either didn't watch it or you don't think avalanches are awesome or interesting is my guess.

Bet ya didn't know you're supposed to do the breast stroke in an avalanche.

Ask Rog!

as a matter of fact, the breast stroke saved my life in an avalanche.

the video to me was just another sensationalized expose` on avalanches that caters to weekend warrior in aspen.. i did not see it as informative or even an educational aid.

your average backcountry enthusiast does not learn effectively from videos or lectures. they learn from mistakes and near death experiences. i include myself in that statistic
