Gnarly little inbound avalanche triggered at St. Anton am Arlberg in the Tyrolean Alps by Austrian freeride skier Tao Kreibich. Tao provided some background information on the conditions of the face he was riding saying that it had been avalanche bombed before he skied it. Here’s how Tao describes the slide:
For everybody a few things to know before you start commenting…
The face was bombed in the morning, it was avalanche danger 2. Everything we triggered was a 10cm top layer which stayed on a 20meter wide spine while bombing so we knew it will go pretty sure. Our outruns were great. I know it looks pretty crazy at first but turned out to be nothing dangerous at all. I don’t want to animate anybody to go in the backcountry and do the things we do. Freeriding is a dangerous sport and everybody needs to know his limits and take risks according to that!
