More powder panic at Snowbird, Utah. Bluebird rope drop in Mineral Basin. Please subscribe to my channel to see more skiing. Check out the Snowbird Sk
Guillaume Decugis's insight:
This is madness. I went to Snowbird recently and I heard this was indeed the way ski patrols organized it. When an ungroomed run is secured from avalanches they’ll drop the rope and let in the dozens of riders who’ve been waiting for that signal. Crazy.

Guillaume Decugis's insight:
This is a video my friend Claude posted after he got caught in an avalanche 5 years ago. Everybody made it safely but things could have ended badly. This is a good reminder of some basic safety rules, among which having beacons and ABS bags of course but also keeping safe distances. The video clearly shows that if they had been packed, skiing at 10 meters from one another, they'll have been all caught in the same batch.

Oui vraiment bien et surtout il faut tenir dans ce genre de long run et ne pas oublier de respirer ;-) @Guillaume Decugis / Si vous passez à Chamonix, venez essayer des skis Black Crows avec nos ambassadeurs dans la plus belle vallée du monde :-)

Forget GoPro on your helmet: this is even better. Xavier de le Rue has been playing with drones to shoot amazing movies for a while: looks like he found a way to make his idea mainstream. Amazing and brilliant: well done!
