Video: Avalanche Airbag Saves Skier In Val d’Isere Avalanche

Bellevarde Area, Val d’Isere – On March 3, 2015, three friends went skiing in the Bellevarde area of Val d’Isere. The third skier down the slope triggered a large avalanche that was caught on video. Thank goodness for avalanche airbags!

This avalanche was caught on video by Niclas Karlson and uploaded to YouTube:

Avalanche airbags have the potential to save your life. It’s one more tool to add to your avalanche safety equipment. Buy one and use it when you are skiing or riding in the backcountry. This skier was lucky. Thanks for sharing the video on YouTube.
