Avy and tree well release for snowboard bindings

no simple way to get out..believe me I know! I was on the downhill side of a tree well, upside down and unable to move anything but my hands. search my viedo.

True mate, true.

I could have done with this a couple of weeks ago :-/

@chimpy1970 at least you're still here

Great idea! I've been bothered by the lack of tree well awareness in the ski/snowboard community lately.

There is simply no reason for people to die in them, all you have to do is free your feet and crawl through the tree and out the downhill side.

spread that trend though, man. It's a lifesaver.

@Einstiensblackid Actually even once you get your skis/board off you are 90% likely to die in a tree well unassisted. This is still a good idea, if you cant get your board off you are fucked for sure.

This method needs to be presented to all backcountry snowboarders.
