Shovel Shear testing with a bit more snow this time. Height of snow is 140cm #shorts #avalanche #avalanches #snow #testing #onecutmedia #whistler #skiing #ski #sar #searchandrescue #minecraft #minecraftmemes #minecraftshorts
Not an ounce of snow ever where I live, looking at that huge amount of clean pure white snow has awoken some primal urge in me to take a huge bite out of it lmao
@@indianpennywort3026 powder like almost like flour but more gritty in texture in colder conditions it packs together almost like crushed ice in texture
man i’m here in whistler right now. been raining since yesterday. pretty miserable. we had a lot of good snow 2-3 days ago. maybe a foot and a half of freshhh powder but it’s all gone now. such a shame
Hey, I get you. I'm a two day drive from the nearest coast, and there are mountains in the way, and I still watch videos on what to do in the event of a tsunami.
I can confirm that skiers actually talk like that. My brother's big into backcountry and big mountain skiing, I have no clue what he's talking about half the time
This is so cool! It kinda reminds me of what i was doing for work for awhile. I was a soil tech, and I would trst soil compaction and moisture levels on construction sites
There is something super satisfying about seeing that clean snow It’s even more satisfying when it’s completely undisturbed and is a completely smooth sheet
Well, the point of the snow being a block is that it’s too consolidated to avalanche. Avalanches are comprised of looser snow, but it’s more than dangerous enough without the cindeblocks
@@Nameandaddresswithheld There are many forms of avalanche, and they are certainly not comprised of 'looser snow.' Slab avalanche, wet snow avalanche, freeze-melt avalanche, powder avalanche, loose snow avalanche, etc. The block form in this clip is representing the likelihood of a slab avalanche occurring, please don't misinform, thanks.
@@eisenhower163nah this guy is right I’m dr zeke there are many types of avalanches Even ones without snow and instead having magma this world is truly interesting
It honestly feels really good to hear someone be so passionate about something they're doing it makes me wish I could be there to get excited about testing snow caps like these guys
@@C2O4 Its not the depth, it's how easily layers will sheer. Avalanches are basically snow sliding ontop of a layer of snow. The snow broke off on a perfect line as that is where the snow melted and froze sometime in the season, making a layer of ice.
To be more specific it’s just to see the layer in the snow pack and how prone it is to an avalanche. If there is a soft sugary section in the middle the whole block would slide, meaning the snow pack is not safe. There’s many nuances in the maintains however, so you have to be able to read terrain correct to ensure avoiding avalanches
Water crystals. There are videos of snowflakes being manufactured in a lab, I highly encourage you to seek them out - It's a goddamn beautiful process.
You guys have snow? Just came home after a week of skiing on a mostly white strip of artificial snow going through the nice green landscape of the Austrian alps. Never seen this little snow at this time of year.
I've been at the bottom of the aftermath of an avalanche and there were chunks of snow bigger than school busses at the bottom, could be a very dangerous situation!!
There is a methodology to this. The guys who do this are usually licenced engineers or geologists often with a geohazard MSc. Just leave avalanche assessments to the pros.
@@onecutmedia south of England lol. The nearest mountains would be in Scotland or France. Wales has some lovely mountains but probably wouldn't get so much snow often
