I thought the same thing. That's the only way he's going to get out by himself but on the other hand that was super risky of him because he could have ended up sliding down the crevasse
I’ve been stuck in the exact same way! Except below the snow was a running stream and my head and shoulders were in the water. I was lucky enough to be able to get my self out as no one was around me and passers by wouldn’t have been able to see me. I reported the incident to ski patrol and they did nothing to rope off the area. Glad you were ok 👍🏼
man, as soon as the little pocket of snow came into view, i could tell that was the whole he was going through. Amazing he didn't go all the way through
When I broke my femur skiing, a kid maybe 9 or 10 asked if I was okay. He flew down the rest of the mountain and helped get me out of there. Thank goodness someone saw me as I was alone
recently broke my elbow snowboarding alone also. i fell literally 200-300 feet from the ski lift at the bottom of the hill. i must have sat there in pain screaming for 5-10 minutes. probably hundreds of ppl ski'd right by me. i eventually had to get up on my own and WALK down the rest of the hill holding my snowboard in one arm and my broken elbow dangling on the other side. fuck ppl.
There are a lot of holes (not crevasse, it's not ice, it's rock) in Flaine, it's well known and there are a lot of signs saying not to go off tracks if you don't know the terrain. Most of them are "secured" with cables and fences, but there's no sign right before. They are around 3m to 30m deep.
I remember living in Tahoe back in the late 90's and a snowboarder had gone missing at Heavenly. I think about a week later they finally found him. He had been tree skiing and fell into a tree sinkhole just like this scenario and died upside down by himself. He was just in his late teens early 20's.
I don't know if anyone will read this but: If this happens in Flaine, stay still, get help. Get a rope on you and only then think about unclipping. Flaine is a limestone karst, some of the holes are very deep. There is a cave entrance shaft in the middle of one of the black runs which used to be the deepest known shaft in France. (Though it is strangely hard to Google). I think it is over 100m deep. That one is on-piste and covered by wire rope netting. I am a caver and a skier, and once had a very bad ski holiday in Flaine one Christmas with no snow. As a caver it was fascinating. Having seen what I saw then, I wouldn't go off piste in Flaine without a guide. But, with a guide, some of the best off-piste I have ever had was in Flaine.
Thank you for sharing your experience and opening our eyes! Always good to get reminded of what could happen when having so much fun in the backcountry
This happened to me at Whistler in 2010. I was alone and off-piste in a glade. I missed making a drop/hard left turn and I fell. I slid head first, on my back (imagine doing that!) for about 5-10 metres into a hole. I was on my back so I didn't see or even feel it happening - it was so fast. I found myself hanging by my board, upside down, helmet slightly touching the stream. I didn't know what happened. All I could see was my board stradling a hole with a little bit of light getting through. There was at least a metre of powder and I sunk well below the surface of the snow - my board would not have been visible. I was hyper-ventilating and confused. I hung there and composed myself for quite a long time. I was glad I wasn't hurt. I didn't want to do anything to get hurt - that was my first priority. My neck could have been broken. I tried to release my binding straps but the tension was too much as I was hanging upside down. I tried to take my boot off but the inner boot had a tension fitting and I couldn't release it. I was 51 years old then - good shape but I wasn't young. I eventually was able to wiggle the front of the board to it was lower than the back. I threw my arms up and reached trying to release the binding straps. I was able release one strap. Then the other. I was doing the splits - one foot hanging from the board, the other towards the ground. I was eventually able to release my rear foot from the binding. I fell in the water. The stream was only a foot deep. I climbed out of this hole. All of this took about an hour. I rode a gondola down the mountain. I dried my clothes in the condo unit. I cried a bit. I texted my friends. I don't know if my phone would have worked in that hole. I did not want to take it out of my pocket and risk dropping it into the stream. I really don't think anyone could have found me - I was invisible even just a few metres away. I went back out on the mountain and met my friends for lunch. I bought each of us a whistle. I think that would have saved my life - someone may have heard me. I was lucky. I didn't tell my wife for 6 months. I still ride off-piste. I try to stay out of tree-wells.
G Star you’re clearly not the sharpest off piste, you should NEVER ever ski off piste alone or without Avalanche gear. It’s a fucking death wish without a buddy and both of you should have a pieps, Shovel and probe
It´s hard to see when you are riding and not focusing on "Holes in the snow" and he is talking to his son so he is´nt as observant... I guess ;). sorry for bad english
i was riding with friends in the backcountry and we rode over this creek and both of my friends made it over it just fine and when i went a few inches away from where they went i fell about 12+ feet deep into this creek. about knee deep in water and 10 feet of snow luckily they saw me and helped me and dug me out. -14 Fahrenheit that day so my board was frozen instantly with a sheet of ice so i worked for about an hour to chip away that ice before we could get back. completely worth it for the ride though. conditions were incredible.
Dude i know how scary that is i almost died twice boarding. The 1st time i fell head first on a powder day on a tree hole and almost berried myself in, lucky I keep my cool and was able to winch myself out. the 2nd time a river was covered by ice and snow and as i rode over it it caved in and i almost went in with it and I would have been dragged under the ice and drowned.
Booshway115 I died getting dragged on a river I made this comment 6 hours before my boarding trip so if you see no more of my comments I probably did die
I watched it again and check out 4:00. It looks like someone put some kind of metal rebar over the hole so when the snow covers more of it making it impossible to see, no one would fall in and die.
@@TheTurbineEngineer I think those were just to mark it so skiers would avoid it earlier in the season when there was way less snow, but it just got covered up again, but I could be wrong
With some bindings its also near impossible to open te bindings when there is force hanging on the straps. Thats to prevent the slider to come undone in a crash und twist your knee/ankle/hips
Oh... I was like... " I recognise that place" Yep. Flaine. Very dangerous to go off-piste because the "Lapiaz" have huge holes (and stone sharp enough to cut) dug by erosion. Dangerous even if you are using skis
Be careful if you go off piste in flaine, the whole area is known to be dangerous for falling down, even what looks covered in snow. Make sure to have a guide or go where others have gone before
Flaine is well known for covered holes off piste below the snow. It appears they went off piste without any such local knowledge, without a guide, without the basics of snow science & reading terrain, and, bearing in mind none of the riders had backpacks, presumably none had any basic off piste safety equipment like shovel, probe, transceiver. It was an accident waiting to happen.
Ive fallen into one of these. i thought i was going to die... as i dug out, i seemed to just fall into more and more snow, sinking back down to ground level.. it took me nearly 3 hrs at -10c and was the scariest moment of my life this guys lucky he stuck to his board
I got stuck in a tree well when I went off trail once and I saw people ski past me and I told them to help me they said dig your self out or call patrol no service and I had a guy help me thank him
Solution if you are alone: take one binding off grab your board take second binding off and hold your snowboard , then crawl out If the hole is deep while holding the board
You were god-awful close to dying. If your board wasn’t there, no doubt you would have fallen into that hole props to you man. I actually have a similar story, not too long ago my friend and I were riding over a snow bridge a few feet wide when my friend accidentally fell off. It wasn’t that high up, but the snow was pure powder and he fell into it, getting trapped. Luckily I was there, I got his snowboard and helped pull him out. It just shows how you should always go up with someone and only go off the trails if you know you can.
You’re watching a video and expecting to see a hole. I’m sure it was the last thing on his mind. But YOU definitely would’ve seen the hole and avoided it right?
i was born in the mountains and started snowboarding early 90s. if you want to go freeriding you need to make a schooling about mountain climbing, snow/weathercondition, rescue courses and how to aproach this dangerous terrain safe. you need to know where to drive before you drop in ;) stay safe and your boy too
Not only should you not go offpist alone. Everyone in your group should be equipped with an avalanche kit (beacon, probe and shovel).

Yeah and it's what seems like a really big drop to a cave whear if you fall down you whoud probably broken something or died

Yep. Flaine.
Very dangerous to go off-piste because the "Lapiaz" have huge holes (and stone sharp enough to cut) dug by erosion.
Dangerous even if you are using skis
Seems it would have been a better idea to leap the caving snow instead of slow down and ease right into the hole.

Not only should you not go offpist alone. Everyone in your group should be equipped with an avalanche kit (beacon, probe and shovel). If you're going in area where there is a glacier you need proper climbing harness, rope etc. If he would have fallen down further it could be a deadly situation if someone couldn't get him up from the cravasse.
