Share on Social

It’s these kind of moments that show how valuable proper avalanche rescue training can be. On January 30th, during a spell of heavy snow and resulting High avalanche danger, several avalanches caught and buried riders on a face near Verbier, Switzerland. Luckily, other riders were able to extricate the victims successfully. Snowboarder Victor Liebenguth shared this POV from one of the rescues, as well as chilling caption reminding us how important this training is.
