    Just kidding, glad it turned out o.k.

    Flame away, but this just reinforces for me that highmarking is fucking stupid.

    Glad you're ok though.

    Were both of you guys in there on one sled or is yours just out of view somewhere?


    Only because I know both of you were okay but........that's going to be kind of a comical video to you in a few years I think.

    What would have obviously sucked is if your buddy got buried and you had no way whatsoever to get up to him. Glad that worked out.

    I bet buddy has never ran so fast in snow in his life !!!

    if it was deep he was pooched ...

    from the opening clip I didnt think it safe where he was standing, especially under that sort of terrain.
