Oh my god. This is what it’s like to nearly lose your life to sliding snow. It’s the most epic day of your life. Then it isn’t. “Shit can go sideways real quick in the backcountry,” says Dan Michalchuk on his Vimeo page. “The following is me and my brother’s experience in an avalanche on Rogers Pass, Canada on February 14, 2016.” The brothers just released the video.
Dan and his brother, Stephen, were enjoying what looked like incredible conditions. On their second lap, the slide sweeps them away. Luckily, neither was fully buried. But holy hell.
