I am stunned with her honesty. Talking of our fears and mistakes is the best things we can gift the world and the community we love the most. My key take... Never to give up.
Thanks for producing this! We all need more expertise and understanding of the snow and conditions. So sad it is, these accidents are happening and whats better than sharing the experiences we can learn from.
Keep these coming (not the unfortunate events I mean). I didnt know about them until ep. 3. Being able to learn from these tragedies and experiences is so valuable
Nice work Mammut and Sherpa Cinema!!! With the industry pushing touring gear more than ever, seems like there is a huge surge of more backcountry skiers out there. The level of ignorance is still and will always be a factor. Partner up, stay safe!!🙏🤙❄️
all the signs were there. this is not about needing more expertise, its about seeing what is right in front of us. and turning back to our sprint vans for hot cocoa.
Hey, what was the avy forcast for that day? Moderate - Moderate - Low? Also, how did they managed to dig a vertical 4 meter hole? For me that sounds like a miracle by itself!
green brick, low, low, low, the hole wasn't vertical until the last meter. There was undoubtedly a horizontal distance as well, prob more like 45 degrees on average into the hole
What does he mean when he said “my beacon went from a 6-5-4 , to a 5-6 ? I tried googling it .. i don’t own a beacon but really need one this season. Any one know what that code means ?
Using an avalanche transceiver (aka ‘beacon’) in ‘search’ function (opposed to transmit) involves traversing the slope identify burials which are displayed as a distance (meters) and direction (arrow) on the screen. Users follow the arrow until they reach the lowest value / shortest distance. This is known as a ‘coarse search’. Under ‘typical’ situations/shallow burials, the transceiver is sensitive enough to measure the burial depth (meters) down to the 0.1 value (e.g., 2.3m, 2.2m, 2.1m, etc.) However, the speaker in this video indicated his transceiver was jumping between whole numbers (full meters) (i.e., 6m, 5m, 4m, 5m, 6m) indicating the burial is exceptionally deep.

This is such a good series. Really makes a big impact and makes you even more aware of the dangers.
Great & moving footage. Thanks for sharing this

Great series and an incredible story. A quick reminder that we are always one step away from death ;)

Easy to armchair, hopefully, your keen intuition always keeps you safe.
Incredible story! Thanks for sharing. Which Mammut beacons were used during the search?

The number means how many meters away the buried person is, so the smallest number = depth of the burial

@@GREYWOLFbike ah Kay got it .! Thanks for the wonderful knowledge, have a great & safe season.! ⛷️ 🏂
don't just buy a beacon - take a course so you know how to use it, and how to make good choices.
@@NeilErnst That’s the plan my friend .! I wouldn’t go backcountry without proper knowledge. Never would want to endanger anyone .!
