Frightening moment when a professional snowboarder survives a Colorado Avalanche. This footage was caught on January 25th, 2012 in the backcountry near Montezuma. It features Pro Snowboarder Meesh Hytner being caught in a sizable (~class 3) avalanche and deploying her Backcountry Access Float 30 Avalanche Airbag Backpack before taking a long ride. Thanks to Tyler Malay and the crew over at workhorse collective.com for the footage.
