He should probably be dead right now....

Stoked that it turned out alright for him, don't take chances when out of bounds everyone! If it can happen to Treadway it can happen to anyone.

snowmobiles do that. I kinda want one but never plan on sledding ski lines with one. Glad he's okay.

pretty sure thats the ice slab giving way... there wasn't a tree within hundreds of yards.

I think it was crazy how he looked back, saw the slab, and just gassed it. You can hear the other guy saying "pin it!!"

and then he gets like 50 more feet hits a rock/pillow/bump or something and just bails. He was going fucking fast. That was still probably the best possible response though. Still GNAR.

When an avalanche is triggerd of that scale, it all most sounds like a twig or tree snapping. That's what meant by the sound of a tree snapping.
