Replying to Skiing pow alone, stop risking your life! [just watched 3 edits]
I have just watched 3 edits here on NS where guys are shredding crazy pow by them selfs.. The last guy also does not have safety gear because no backpack..
All those guys are idiots if I may say so..
How hard is it to make friends on a pow day and shred together? Even inbounds shredding deep pow is dangerous if you are all alone.. Nobody knows you are there if things go wrong, and yes things can go wrong real quick! Hit a tree, get stuck in tree well, cliffs, pillows breaking above you and you get burried etc etc etc..
I cant find the edit now, but last year someone posted a good video of how long it can take people to get to you through the pow.. A guy was burried under a shit load of pow when he fell after hitting some pillows.. (if someone knows what I am talking about, please post it here, thanks!)
I know pow is great, and its hard to say no to crazy pow on a free day in the mountains, but just make some new friends, shred together with others and be safe!
peace
