This is what happened when that layer of ice was compromised by the warm temperatures one week later czcams.com/users/shortsh5Yo-qT4XPM?feature=share
Now I just need to go to the arctic to test it out
Ur so wierd ur just saying that cause you know this is fake
I watched it before I read what it said, and thought he was trying to teach us a new way to shovel snow I was thinking it was gonna take forever
Nice!
It made a bomb? LOL get fucked with that misleading was title
That last "omg" sounded like his back gave out 🤣
It was about 50lbs of snow
@@onecutmedia 👍
@@onecutmedia geeeeez
I thought he’d dropped it on his toes 😬
@@elfinshell4758 well seeing I have ski boots on. It would not do anything 🥶
bro just casually picked up a snow block
A big one even 😂
Must have silk touch
@@evuii9685 👌
Bro has silk touch gloves 🧤 😂😂
Why are you hitting it like that hahah
That's why they call it a snow pack....
Packing that snow 😂
My man ain't leavin until he creates an avalanche 💀💀💀
trying
Bro really started playing Minecraft at the end 💀
💀💀💀
guy filming turns the camera around, he has a pumpkin on his head like a snow golem

"so it's safe to go skiing? “
“yeah, I did the good ol' shovel test"
It doesn't get more scientific than that.. Open the lifts..
Yeehaw
This is literally how they test for avalanche risk lol.
That’s the official test but okay 👌
@@riioas5543lol
I did the tapping buddy it says 100% everywhere will be safe
I've never seen a more perfect time for an avalanche in my life
But it won’t happen there
@@onecutmedia But you didn't know that until you tested right there...right?
His shovel must have Silk Touch
Not an ounce of snow ever where I live, looking at that huge amount of clean pure white snow has awoken some primal urge in me to take a huge bite out of it lmao
Welcome to the club, it's cold, very cold, feels colder then ice tbh
We usually have triple that much snow or more
Use the lips, not the teeth
@@EggieBoi1284 😂🤣
Dont worry, theres millions of microplastics in it
Breaks back right as the video ends
Amazing plot twist
I've seen snow in pictures only. What does it feels like?
@@indianpennywort3026 powder like almost like flour but more gritty in texture in colder conditions it packs together almost like crushed ice in texture
@@indianpennywort3026 like powdered ice 😅
@@indianpennywort3026 i got to feel it years ago
Its cold as hell but it was worth it
the way he's moving his hand has me dead lol
Can't wait to do it here in Brazil.
Me who's genuinely attentive to know how an avalanche might happen and be prepared for it while living in the Philippines
lmao
Me too but in Australia :)
im with you bro. 🤣🤣 cuz we were already prepared for when flashfloods come. so we prepare for what will come. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey, I get you. I'm a two day drive from the nearest coast, and there are mountains in the way, and I still watch videos on what to do in the event of a tsunami.
@DoktorApplejuceAbridged
Saame xD
The snow is that deep and the break that close to the ground it would be safe to assume you guys definitely had a fun day in the mountains right?
Snowpack seems really safe, but doesnt look too fun to ride :D
man i’m here in whistler right now. been raining since yesterday. pretty miserable. we had a lot of good snow 2-3 days ago. maybe a foot and a half of freshhh powder but it’s all gone now. such a shame
@@bloloo69 damn I feel that. I’m over here hitting them little peaks in Quebec we got some snow hope u get yours.
@@10fourrubberduck99 I’m here at Schweitzer in sandpoint. We are supposed to get around 3 feet of pow between tonight and wendsday
@Bloloo69 I'm in northern BC, Shames Mountain, and we got rained out today. The 24th saw about 20cms. I feel ya!
Bro is the final boss in snow fights with those snow blocks😭
True
Thank you for your important work.
You are very welcome

and then breaks his back
Peak entertainment
“How’s the snow holding up?”
“Oh you know it got down to belly button with 3 elbow taps”
That's bad right?
@@Toastyboi32 no I think it'd be good because it got all the way down to the belly button, right?
Wooow you made a dirty joke everyone laughs and you are so funny. Oh wait you just woke up and pissed youself? What a shame
Lol 😂😂😂
I can confirm that skiers actually talk like that. My brother's big into backcountry and big mountain skiing, I have no clue what he's talking about half the time
when he takes off the snow at the end that was satisfying
Thanks
This is so cool! It kinda reminds me of what i was doing for work for awhile. I was a soil tech, and I would trst soil compaction and moisture levels on construction sites
We do actually measure the moisture content in the snow
seeing that cinder block of snow at the end shows how ridiculously dangerous avalanches are.
Well, the point of the snow being a block is that it’s too consolidated to avalanche. Avalanches are comprised of looser snow, but it’s more than dangerous enough without the cindeblocks
@@Nameandaddresswithheld There are many forms of avalanche, and they are certainly not comprised of 'looser snow.' Slab avalanche, wet snow avalanche, freeze-melt avalanche, powder avalanche, loose snow avalanche, etc. The block form in this clip is representing the likelihood of a slab avalanche occurring, please don't misinform, thanks.
@@kyleop1I think he just meant it got compressed by the weight of snow above it. And would’ve fallen in a less dense state
@@eisenhower163nah this guy is right I’m dr zeke there are many types of avalanches
Even ones without snow and instead having magma this world is truly interesting
It honestly feels really good to hear someone be so passionate about something they're doing it makes me wish I could be there to get excited about testing snow caps like these guys
It makes me feel good knowing this guy has my back and can tell when an avalanche might happen
Bro i got a a video for you hold up
@anubisgodess2353 i felt the same way when i watched this video its an awesome documentary
Thanks to this video I've seen 100 times and the fact I live nowhere close to snow, I've been able to survive the harshest of winters.
😂🤪🙀👻🎉🤩😆
There is something super satisfying about seeing that clean snow
It’s even more satisfying when it’s completely undisturbed and is a completely smooth sheet
That’s why first tracks is the best 🤘
He spanked the snow for a minute and then blew his back out the last 5 seconds.
Sounds like a good time in bed to me
@@pcolorighi was thinking the same thing 😳😳😳
“Let me try and start an avalanche to see if there is a potential danger for an avalanche”
That's why he cleared a pit downhill from the column he's testing.
That minecraft:snow_block looks tasty
Yep
Even though I'm from Hawaii, this is very interesting to learn. Thank you.
Your welcome. You get snow there
@@onecutmedia Yes, i know. But we don't exactly got "Avalanche" problems 😅 So this was definitely interesting to observe. Mahalo🤙
idk what it is about snow but everything about it is just so deeply satisfying
I think they're checking how thick the snow so they'll know if theres risk of an avalanche
@@C2O4 yes
@@C2O4 Its not the depth, it's how easily layers will sheer. Avalanches are basically snow sliding ontop of a layer of snow. The snow broke off on a perfect line as that is where the snow melted and froze sometime in the season, making a layer of ice.
@@C2O4 no one asked
"most accurate units of measurement in america"
Which is strange because this is in Canada

@@WalrusWinkingwhat do you mean by this
You know you getting old when you say "oh my god" when picking up anything.
No. That’s oh my back 😂
I guess this is how you check snow stability before skiing/snowboarding? Never done either, but it looks super fun
I think I saw a video saying its like a test for how high the probability of an avalanche happening is
Only really if you are skiing backcountry where ski patrol is often out of reach.
Watch the bear grylls one it's a lot easier way to test it.
To be more specific it’s just to see the layer in the snow pack and how prone it is to an avalanche. If there is a soft sugary section in the middle the whole block would slide, meaning the snow pack is not safe. There’s many nuances in the maintains however, so you have to be able to read terrain correct to ensure avoiding avalanches
Nope this is usually done to check avalanche risk and to notify people
THATS AWESOME SNOWBALL SNOW!
Snow block
She made me think of that old saying "Don't shoot the bear, if you can't get out of the kitchen"
🤷♂️
I feel like I really learned something today. You're awesome!
by 70 year old snowboarder
That is awesome!
My man is gathering snow to build a snow golem.
Bro his pats every time it's so much like an NPC move
I love how the method seem incredibly unscientific but works amazingly
Tried that!
i love the sight of solid water. Some ethereal sht right there
Water crystals. There are videos of snowflakes being manufactured in a lab, I highly encourage you to seek them out - It's a goddamn beautiful process.
Him properly conveying the satisfaction of seeing that chunk come out has been the perfect start to my year
The way he spanking it in fast forward looks like that smash or pass from knuckles
That "there you gooo!" spoken like "told you it would let go at the first tap"...
🤷♂️
After taps from the shoulder, "Now is the *final* test"
**Starts 90 degree slams with his head**
Bro has a silk touch shovel
He really wanted that snow to move
I so did
Dudes casually out here playing Minecraft
That’s how we roll
He picked up a block of snow from Minecraft 💀
That "OH MY GOD" at the end 🤣
That's What Causes an Avalanche. New Snow Line, On Top Old Snow. The Frozen Old Snow, is Slick, and Just Like a Human's Foot...It Will Slide on Ice, Once Required Weight is Applied.
And happens a lot
This minecraft update looks sick
More fun 🤩
Crazy how scientific the study of snow pack has become.
Texas would be permanently shut down if this much snow fell
Good thing this is Canada
Texas would cease to exist if this much snow fell
When he says now it's my bite , sounds like CMAC ON 55 CRRRRIIIIIIPPPP😂😂
🤷♂️
didn't think seeing a guy hammer his hand into a shovel sped up is something I needed
Yes you did
“Insert Minecraft pick up sound effect”
(Walking on snow sound effect): ffft ffft ffft ffft ffft ffft ffft
that amount of snow is terrifying, i imagine that’s not even nearly how deep it truly is
Man just made minecraft snow like it was no big deal
When big Boyz feel bored ,they do some back yard experiments.
Very stable snow.
"These tests test for instability not stability my young Padawan nhmhmhmhmhmm"- Yoda probably
@@mountfairweather yes and if it's not unstable... What are they then?... Might they be stable?
Then the whole mountain just slides down lol

2nd pat: awkward sympathy between acquaintance
3rd pat: give that bro a headstart before fist go flying
Hahahahaha

"Honey, I swear it'll happen. Just a few more taps."
Guy testing for potential avalanches: 1949-2023
Hahahaha
Bro playing Minecraft up there 👌
Snow looks edible
As long as it’s not yellow
If anyone is confused, this is a stability test to assess avalanche danger
Yes
Takes a pat like nothing….that’s good SNOW right there.
love that video so much
I love whistler skiing
Same
I never seen such a perfect block of snow ever before.
I make them daily 🥶
This is to check how soft the snow is, so that you don’t start a avalanche or make a mistake and now your under 12 feet of snow.
“Yeah you like that? Mmmm naughty lil shovel”
Professional snow testers "Yep, this snow looks whacked."
Ha. Good one 😂
That last “omg” was like what i give out when my mum hands me a shopping bag with more weight than the two multipacks of crisps on top suggest
😂
Bro had silk touch at the end-
When you pretend to work when your boss walks by
I fpund this entertaining for some reason.
Your welcome
It's great that Bruce Willis can find time for hobbies like these😊
😂
People would say in 2022 we should have flying cars…. Cut to this dude patting the snow, oh science 😂
That’s a slab avalanche area if I ever saw one. But it might require a big stimulus, though. Yes, always dig a pit if you’re in doubt.
Great info ✌️✌️🎣
Thanks
I moaned when he slapped the shovel
Damn, the Caves and Cliffs update looking lit
i have absolutely no idea what’s going on but i like it
Thanks 🙏
Instructions unclear, ended up shoveling off entire avalanche
Maybe 🤔
I've been at the bottom of the aftermath of an avalanche and there were chunks of snow bigger than school busses at the bottom, could be a very dangerous situation!!
Can be
You guys have snow? Just came home after a week of skiing on a mostly white strip of artificial snow going through the nice green landscape of the Austrian alps. Never seen this little snow at this time of year.
Bro became an enderman at the end of
I love how we do know that glaciers are shrinking and all that good stuff but will trigger avalanches for "safety" lol
As a dancer, he has pretty decent elbow isolation, those sped up smacks were ✨snappy✨
I also feel like the snows consistency would be different 30 feet somewhere else
Snow Science looks chill
This guy js going to become a meme one day
Hahahahaja
I want to experience this type of snow in my lifetime
Just go to the mountains
@@onecutmedia one does not just simply go to the mountains where I'm from
@@HRRN-gh3wj where is that? I’m surrounded by them
@@onecutmedia south of England lol. The nearest mountains would be in Scotland or France. Wales has some lovely mountains but probably wouldn't get so much snow often
Why does that ice block look so DELICIOUS 😮
i was like "you could just shovel it out of the way". then i realized it was an avalanche test
🤷♂️
Very scientific and precise!
This seems like a super accurate scientific form of testing….
Said nobody ever. This is however better than just ''sending it'' and hoping for the best, and a fun video to watch.
@@sirmounted8499 agreed.
There is a methodology to this. The guys who do this are usually licenced engineers or geologists often with a geohazard MSc. Just leave avalanche assessments to the pros.
1200 years ago this would be called:

Them clean cuts make it look like frosting 😋
Taste pretty good 😊
