Not sure if this has been posted here before, but pretty incredible story.

TL/DR: 3 people caught in avalanche, one self-arrested, the other buried to her waist, and one buried 4m deep! All survived without injury.
Good first person recollection.
FUckkkkkk scary shit. Excellent execution.
Jeebus.
Good work.
Be safe out there.
Makes you really think about your probe size. I think I might be looking elsewhere to sacrifice weight.
check probe size, also make sure you got the upper body strength to shovel like a madperson.
that is a shitton of digging
glad they persevered with the "micro search" portion of the search
(i'm torn on whether the BD advertorial part of it is a little gauche, tho...seems pertinent to gear, but also a little beside the point given the unique burial situation...i guess it's a dramatic happy customer review?)
Is that a record for deepest survived burial?
I’ve always wondered how many people just look for the colored section of the avalanche report and go on without reading it at all.
