  • Pretty ignorant. That's all I can say. Accidents happen. These guys who survived did the right thing. Would you stand there and keep digging knowing that more snow was coming down behind you, and that you too could possibley not make it out? Or would you get out with the 2 guys you already helped rescue? It was bravery. I bet the hardest decision this man had to make. People shouldn't have to read these asshole comments. Keep your opinion to yourself.

  • our prayers go out to the families of the fallen , may they rest in peace

  • My hats off to ya Jeff, I know you did the best you could have. You are a true hero, because of you three making it out those guys were found and their families knew what happened.

  • You did everything you could short of burying yourself alongside your friends. You chose life. Take strength in that and know there are many many out here who are with you 100%.

  • Poor Guy the worst feeling in the world is having to make that choice him or me? and seeing your Buddies get Taken away in a cloud of snow. Jeff was a Hero here For trying to Save the other riders he did what he could and thats that. him the other fellow made a smart choice to leave then to risk causing anther slide, i mean common cant you see how bad the poor guy feels hes in tears and dry throat the entire time.

  • Prayers to you Danny And Warren <3

    Danny: Your brother goes into he derby every year for you,he does great to!

    Warren: Your brother sure misses you! as does everyone else related to u i know! Melissa cries every so often when im with her,she'll never forget you and when you kids go to school il watch for them <3 i promise.

  • @mgodin10 I did not know your dad but i live right across from the cemetary and i give him flowers everytime i go there <3 I had 2 friends die in that avalanche but i cant even imagine how you felt,I'm sorry and prayers to you and your family.

  • @xielanx1 i agree he had no equipments to help ....

  • @joshuacarterjones easy to say from the comfort of your home. If u were 10 feet under the snow suffocating i bet u wouldnt have said that.

  • @bobbn Couldn't have said it better my friend!

  • And I mean everyone on youtube said Jeff shoulda died. But no one shoulda died, Jeff did the right thing.
