tbh this is not skiing and no avalanche, it is called figln (tyrolean) and its expected that the slushy snow is doing exactly this, so you can go down "better"
Well, in that case, you’ll know the local conditions, snow type and things so... awesome! Looks rather brilliant actually. I’m going to have to look up figln now And who knows, maybe even try it out one day!
Thanks for letting us know about figln! I've spend 35 years in the mountains with plenty of avalanche training and never heard this before. Still, that group of kids is in no way prepared for this. Poor riding skills and not a shovel in sight. Could've easily ended with somebody dying of suffocation.
To the ones who dont understand this comment, snow avalanches (as they are called) are extremely unpredictable and can get up to insane speeds, hundreds of people die of these each year.

To all that hate on the people, go check "figeln" on youtube. You will find out that people from Innsbruck do this activity every year and is safe in most occasions. Also even though the slope is steep (around 40 degrees at the start) locals are very familiar with it and ski there 124121251 times per season. Calm your tits
Every part of this is so stupid. They are laughing about avalanches at first. Then there are way too many people on all things- blades. A dude whips out his phone and then gets caught in slush river, which could have ended a lot worse. Stay on the groomed stuff.
well they are actually on piste. we call that figln and it is not dangerous! they are at the seegrube in innsbruck and every year at the end of the skiing season when conditions get too bad for "normal" skiing and snowboarding the resort opens the figl-season. these slides result from many people sliding down the same way. we are doing this for almost 100 years at the seegrube i have never heard of anyone being buried in an avalanche
Guys, this is a spring / summer activity in the alps, where you can rent these little snow skate things and go down the remaining slush on the mountain. They're not jerries, they're having fun.
After the slush-a-lanche took off, the guy filming accelerated kicking the girl ahead in the back. After overtaking, he then restarted abruptly whenever he got stuck like she'd gone into the back of him. Could have got back injuries from that alone.
@@TyTyHuh technically this is extremely careless, that entire chute could have let go, I’ve seen it personally fortunately from a safe distance. Ignorance is bliss until it’s gets really dark.
Imagine one would going to get caught on something on the way down and gets under slush !!! Easy to die by drowning ! NEVER EVER DO THIS AGAIN AND I ADVISE TO ANYBODY: Don´t copy this!
Why in the hell did they get into that slush channel? This was horrendous judgement, they need to stay out of the back country. I assume if they were on a glacier they would jump into one of those streams thinking it's a waterslide.
Morons. See that equipment they have with them. If only one of them would be covered by snow, he or she would die. No shovels, no airbags, nothing. Do they think they can find the person along 500 metres in this snow pipe. But probably because nothing happens they see this as a prove their judgement was right. I really have nothing against dangerous or even extreme sport. You can put yourself in danger. But be aware of what you are doing and be prepared!
Jesus can all you keyboard warriors just google Figln at Nordkette. It’s not skiing. Sliding down in the tunnel is the whole point of it, that’s precisely why they wear short blades.
Never seen a more obvious avalanche danger in a video. How tf are you “skiing” in a 4-7 foot rut and not putting together that there is a crust with heavy wet snow under it? YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO DIG A CROSS SECTION TO SEE IT.
So I've grown up in a swiss valley with a ski resort, and I can tell you this is the avarage german city people that try "skiing". They have no clue how quickly things can get out of hand on unprepared areas. It's all fun and games until it's not.

Stupid if ask me between such a deep crator any faster the flow would of easily buried you and looks about 6ft deep, possibly that snow slide taking you off a cliff at the end as well, ski on piste!
Hmm.. poor rescuers if they need to risk their life for people who don't mind their own life. No Abs, any backpacks, any as assume detectors.. lucky they would not be found on the next spring melting..
Being in the trench was dangerous right from the beggining even without the avalache.. That trench could have collapsed any time.. In the other hand, what the hell did they have on their feet?
They are called 'Figl' in Innsbruck (Austria). It's a ski entirely made of metal, that is 'cut off' behind the shoe. So it's specifically made for riding those trenches (they get dug deeper and deeper by having people ski it) and the technique is just going straight. Leaning forward to go faster, and leaning backwards to break by pressing the rear end of the metal ski into the snow.
@@seblukasser DANKE! I really felt like their blades were for this sorta thing by design and their route was intentional. Wahnsinn! Good to hear someone with knowledge pipe in.
@@ErikFullmer Sure no problem! As far as I know that's about as dangerous as it gets - I have not heard of a single case where someone died under an avalanche while going 'Figln'.
