Avalanche Survival - Mt Waddington

This big fat avalanche came off the peak of Mt Waddington, first hand footage. Cloud of snow came 500ft up the opposing mountain we were on, and absolutely blasted us with wind and snow. not burried at all though. pretty scary. hilarious footage. we survived of course. wish i had better filming skills while running! i tried to film the aftermath but the battery died so i only got a quick clip of Andre radioing Tobin to make sure he's OK.
