Why risk it
He sure sounded scared!
My son and his girlfriend spent the weekend in Vale. The pictures were beautiful but I am glad they’re home and safe!
I'm not doing any activity where there's a risk of me being buried alive in ice. Not happening.
That tracker 1 tho 😅
miraculously surviving was not even a bad avalanche stayed on top whole time without even a airbag
He kept his mind focused, I'm so glad he's ok
Absolutely fantastic reflexes.. He stayed above lsud down and floated the deep powder and steep terrain including the movement of the snow I saw.. Very quick thinking,great video for all tovsee who venture out in any deep snow especially this dense and avalanche prone as it is and has been thus far. god bless and thank you for recording and for sharing!!! Amazing video 😎😊🆙⚠♦
Badass🤟🏾
The Utah Avalanche Center had issued a high danger warning for Avalanches that day and the area he was riding in is super Avalanche prone. So prone in fact that they often close the canyon road below in order to initiate controlled slides. I am glad he made out alive but feel next time he and others should use better judgement and not only keep themselves alive but also keep those poor souls that will be entering a dangerous area to rescue them. Stay safe out there!
He is sliding. Just in case you missed that part.
Were you scared?
-No actually I was having a ball…
Why yell? Wouldn't that cause more snow to fall. Goodness.
White people built America and the West
What people are destroying America and the West?
The Legendary Lee Canady is where it is at!
I will pray for America. Please pray for me. God Bless you.
Trump 2023! 🇺🇸
“What was going through your mind when you were sliding?”
Me: “Snow.”
next time he should focus on staying on top
Wow such great detail! You can see the steam coming from the poop in his pants!
the kind of thing that will never happen to u if you dont go outside of your home.
That was a tiny slow slide… try again…
What was going through you mind.
Me: WEEEEEEEeeeeeeee
300 feet? 😃 my God that's not even news Worthy.
It's nice to finally see some truthful news on fake stream media……
😉😙🤨😓😧😇🤭⛷⛷🏂🏌️♂️🏌️♀️
I bet it was awesome
A great tip for avoiding an avalanche is remaining on the sofa at home watching football 🤣
Bro clickbait barely went down a hill
IM STAYING ON TOP, BUT I AM SLIDING – Drake
There are flotation devices that seem to help. Looks like one of the rescuers in the still frame was showing one off in a selfie
Thrill seekers have to accept the potential consequences that come along with these kinds of hobbies. It's great that he is OK. I just always think when I see these videos I wouldn't risk my life, but to each their own 🤷🏾♀️.
By the grace he didn't hit a tree
Haha gotta squeeze that pun in there after that flurry of information!
👍🙏I’m glad he’s okay but he knows full well it’s a risk you take snowboarding & skiing.
😡I hate hate hate when reporters ask stupid questions! “Were you scared?” 🙄
Im sorry for all the lost in avalanche. I always want science to make life suit that give extra o2 when those happend. Like supersuit until we save them. Science should and have to advance to protect so no more losses. And we said we are going to live in moon while we cant even live without o2 for 5minute
I don’t understand white people 😂 he wants to go back out there and swim with the snow again Lmao 🤣
Whatta ride!!!
If only he could see in the future that he’d survive. That way he could enjoy the free snowcoaster ride. Looked pretty fun!
It didn't look loke alot of snow
Sonic moment💯
Kessler has taken multiple lives. Doing this line on a considerable day is extremely dumb.
This is why a few Black folks go skiing, sky diving, play with wild beast, and none swim with sharks.
Reporters ask dumb questions sometimes. "Were you scared?". Like really?
“Avalanche” mthrfckr your lucky it wasn’t a real one.
