Good start to understanding avalanches. Great info. Please also stress the importance of understanding slough (or loose snow) avalanches as well as slab slides. It was only slough that caused Jamie Pierre to get washed down a cliff and lose his life at pre-season (low snow) conditions at an unopened November Snowbird.
RIP JP. Over ten years later and still as missed as ever, buddy! I'd love to tell ya about 900" in Alta last year.

So... anywhere on the mountain?
avalanches are kinda gnarly
what type of avalanches slide at 20 degrees?
Wet slab avalanches. As wet snow is heavier than dry snow gravity has more of an effect on it. Assume you have the same amount of friction between 2 layers of snow and the same slope. The heavier snow will slide more easily.
Less background music would be helpful since it isn’t a party that you are providing.
lol. For real.
You must be real fun at parties 😜
@@cenobyte3 lol I’m 2 years sober. That life is behind me. Just enjoying my life riding my timbersled in the back country. Gives me more thrills than cocaine and pills ever did.
@@ChrisMason.333 haha fair enough!
Too fast and not enough detail. This is CZcams's fault for removing the dislike button.
Demanding too much for a free content. Get yourself an avalanche coach for more solid details.
@@chang8690 Expecting accurate information on life or death issues is demanding too much?
@@jeffbrunswick5511 what was inaccurate about the video?
