I guess if you are a snowboarder this is OK. on their other hand if you are a snow skier you should have training to know how to avoid this and have a beacon, and ski with someone that knows how to find you and dig you out avalanches are serious stuff not to be joked about this is a very misleading and stupid video people can die!

Ok, armchair quarterbacks. Safety is the main priority on film shoots like this, Snow stability, proper routes, terrain traps, safe zones, no fall zones, slough management plans and rescue protocols and plans are all discussed at great length by people who are actually accustomed to riding this type of terrain. With a good crew who understands what they are dealing with you can ski things like this relatively safely. Everyone has there own level of acceptable risk. Education is the key and also what most of the posters on here should get before talking about things on the internet that are way out of your league.

I'm human. I'm just not sure about the snow boarder; but it is pretty exciting. Lucky AND skilled AND lucky; that is the formula. I hope they can avoid doing this in future because it sets a bad example for others who might not be able to enable the above formula... But anyway kudos!!

I bet they all would have felt real good, having expected avalanches that day and all, if the guy would have died in it. I wonder how his mom or girlfriend or wife would have felt. Sure they guy is stoked, he gets to be the star heliskier for the day, but where are his guides. Hey lets go do another one on the same slope, aspect, elevation that we just had a near miss on. I hope my kid doesn't see it and think hey, he rode out of it so i can too.
