Snowboarder Clings to Cliff in Harrowing Situation at Blackcomb

Of course we’ve all been in uncomfortable situations, but this one takes the cake.

At Blackcomb earlier this week, a snowboarder took a bit of a misstep and ended up having to bear-hug a cliff and balance on a narrow part of the face with his board to avoid a steep, life-threatening fall.

We don't know how long he was up there, but thankfully, patrollers eventually came and roped down to save him (the rescue reportedly took 1-2 hours).

An onlooker got some of the harrowing experience on video. He wrote: “I was coming out of the Spanky’s Ladder Zone on Backcomb with the group I’m coaching when we saw a bit of commotion and, eventually, this poor guy perched halfway up a nasty cliff with no way up or down."

After the big rescue, the snowboarder was spotted having a well-deserved post-death-avoidance beer with a friend at the Garibaldi Lift Company (GLC).

Glad you’re safe bud! Enjoy the brew.
