How NOT to perform an Avalanche Rescue
There are many videos on the interweb that show avalanche rescues caught on tape. Thankfully this guy wasn’t seriously injured. The video shows that there may have only been one beacon shared among 4 rescuers. Additionally, it seems like only one shovel was shared between them as well.
