GOOD MORNING AMERICA’S HOMEPAGE:
https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/
This is in Verbier Switzerland and i was just Snowboarding and skiing there for the last two weeks, last Year i was there from 22.02 also. I'm a Swiss citizen since birth but life in another part in Switzerland.
From the looks of it this is just below Attelas 2727m and it is a Yellow official Ski Route (market not maintained not controlled route for expirience users).
Amazing job from everyone included!
I was hoping her to say mayday.
I think the rescuers are ignoring her because many things are going through their minds. One of them might be, "Woman, we are risking OUR lives to save you and you ask for us to look for your friend too?!"
Did you find my friend ….. Ignore .
damnit I'm in the skiing accident algorithm now
Just locks you in
She was more worried about her friend then herself
that's a true friend right there
Where is the friend? 😱
She had on an avalanche life vest which is why she was so close to the surface. Its just she couldn't clear the snow from her face and was worried about her friend.
Beacons save lives. Don't go into the backcountry without one.
Second Life.
That's what you get for snow boarding
Did they find her friends?
Thank goodness the snow boarders were there to quickly help! Terrifying being buried under snow!
Glad they are ok. I’ve seen a few avalanches and it is shocking how much power they have
Wow, this can happen…
