Blake Nielson filmed the heart-stopping close-call as he was snowboarding in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Blake NielsonThe boarder said he dropped into a bowl near Kessler Peak and made a heel side turn when “an isolated wind slab broke loose below and above me which knocked me off my feet and took me for a ride,” inwhen the snow underneath him suddenly gave way and he shouted to his boarding partner “Logan, I’m sliding” over the radio.Nielson was able to stay above the snow and make it out unscathed by making “swimming motions” with his arms and kicking out his board.
He was carried away with the rush of moving snow for about 300 feet, at which point he was able to slow down and come to a stop while the rest of the snow continued sliding down the mountainside.He said he and his snowboarding pals had tested the stability of the snow dropping into the Greaseball Couloir and found “no deep instabilities in the snow structure.”“Respect the wind,” Nielson warned.
Meanwhile, in Colorado, two snowmobilers were caught in a large avalanche near Winter Park Saturday and died after being buried under the snow.
