Ride Hard! Ride Safe!
Between 1984 and 2003, almost half of the avalanche incidents in Canada occurred in the interior ranges of British Columbia due to more intense weather conditions (compared to 34% in the Rocky Mountains and 16% in the Coast Mountains). Almost three quarters of the fatal incidents, between 1984 and 2003, occurred in the triangle between Vancouver Island, Pincher Creek and Hinton, Alberta, an area with a high level of recreational activity.
FreeSkier Aymar Navarro was at a film shoot in the Spanish Pyreneese when he suddenly triggered a massive avalanche
A camera team around NIll Torremocha from bumpyfilms was supposed to capture Freeski material for a TV commercial for a car brand. The conditions seemed to be perfect when spanish freeskier Aymer Navarro began his descent from top of 2,802m high Tuc de Barloguera.
The camera crew filmed his ride from the helicopter flying above him when suddenly the snow started to move and Aymar was caught by a massive avalanche. The 24-year old survived the accident with luck and his avalanche airbag.
