Getting caught in an avalanche is serious business that can seriously injure, or even kill. That’s why it’s often safer to initiate a man controlled avalanche before the snow builds up too much. MrPendragon1986 just happened to be on the road during a man made avalanche in the small town of Stewart, British Columbia, and recorded the spectacular results.
Thanks Ben!!
Whenever parts of the country that don’t usually have winter weather actually have some snow, there’s always some fun as a result. Seattle just had a couple inches and lots of ice, resulting in some sticky driving conditions. Some people were enjoying the snow and went tubing on Queen Anne hill, but when K5 reporter Meg Coyle showed up to cover the ‘story,’ the police stopped the fun. One Seattle snow tuber let Meg know that she’s a killjoy–all on the air. The video is featured on SayOMG and Guyism.
It’s been a relatively mild winter in America so far, but it seems that could all change. FernieAlpineResort in Canada right above Montana wants people to know that it is not mild up north at all. They just had over four feet of snow fall recently, and had professional skier Dylan Siggers show off what skiing in a true winter wonderland is like with an awesome and unique GoPro point of view.
In 2010, Seattle went viral when it snowed there and all hell broke loose. People on the West coast just aren’t used to snow like the Midwest and East are. There was just recently two inches of snow in Seattle this year, and it results are very similar to 2010. The video is featured on YouTubeTrends.
NSFW – Language.
Driving in snowy and icy conditions is always a bad idea, but if you have to travel always drive slowly with extreme caution. This driver was going a little to fast before he noticed a huge car crash pile up ahead of him. Instead of crashing into the cars, he drove on the side of the road, and go out of the way the best he could. He did have some car damage, but it could have been much worse. Read about the pile up on MetroNews.
