My friend triggered an Avy while on his snowmachine this last weekend. My machine had broke earlier so I was just on foot running from it! Check it out. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5BOXO_1Kr40

Holy shit dude. Terrifying. You guys are so lucky. Like the guy above I can't believe you didn't say a word when it happened either. I would've cursed up a storm. Glad you're alright!

Sledding. Highmarking. The art of climbing, till you can't go anymore, then you brap around and back down. Your buddy then usually goes and tries to get higher.

Because sleds weight 500+ pounds, plus a 200lb person on top of it. Puts way more stress on the snowpack than just a skier alone. All that weight can stress down into the weak layers deeper and wider that just a person alone, thus causing more avalanches.

Plus, snowmobiles cover WAY more terrain in a day than a skier can, putting themselves in avalanche terrain much more often.
