Ice Dam break along US 34 in Big Thompson Canyon February 2014 

I loved living in Steamboat, Colorado. This video brought back many fond memories of just getting in the truck with a bunch of friends and watching in awe the beauty and strength of nature with no one else around. It is magical watching nature take its course like this. Thanks for sharing, even though it was 2 years ago.

You were in the right place at the right time, and know how to use a camera. Thanks for sharing!

Nature knows how to get the job done!! Great video! Thanks!

Today I'm learning about ice dams. Living on the Gulf Coast I didn't know they existed.

GREAT Timing. We live in the western mountains. Never seen this action at this time!!!!

That even sounds cold.

Was the weather particularly cold on this day? It looks like a freeze-up icejam that released water downstream past your vantage point. We often get those in Vermont, especially in December.

I remember the stories a friend and co-worker told of the Big Thompson flood that killed so may people. We drove threw it 6 years later and could still see the high water marks 15 - 35 feet up on the canyon walls

I'm reminded of a big flood which hit the major city in my state some years ago. There was an ice dam which burst upstream on a major tributary which ran through the center of town during a thaw following a series of heavy snows, coupled with rain from a passing Nor'Easter. It ended up flooding some of the low-lying neighborhoods downhill from the downtown business district and upland residential neighborhoods.

i love videos like this, they're just mesmerising. cheers for sharing, beautiful place.

Impressive pictures! Greetings from Germany.

I thought that was some dude laying down in the snow....haha!

WOW What a beautiful place.

Hey i was wondering how is the snow pack this year? and the water content.. thanks for posting much love Quay

That is so cool thanks for posting

the buckling of the ice looks so cool

gorgeous

as a guy who volunteered sorting bodies after the Big Thompson flood, that looks pretty mild. one day was all i could stand. people forget the power of water.

What a beautiful sound

Colorado is beautiful country

Looks like a great day to wade out and go fly fishing 👍👍👍👍

Where can I get some dam bait?

Wow that sound kind of eerie

Best regards from #BHRoadStoriesBH

That is amazing!

This reminds me of Gatorade alpine rush

it doesn't look like a highway but just as a local ground snow road.

I love this dam video!

Make more videos.

Is this the same B.T. in Colorado that flooded tragically in the 70's?

This canyon is notorious for flooding, with the 1976 flash flood being the worst and killing 143.

Colorado???

Did you say .9 ?????

Oh no! A Ford! I hope you made it out okay.

Aunt Flow???

Dam!

Maravilhoso

Beautiful

very interesting video.

Oh Dear ? Oh My ?? My Goodness ? My My My ?? Oh My Goodness Gracious ?? Oh Dear Oh My ???

Right place Right time

Dam thats good!

we have this often when t he Rock River and the Mississippi ice breaks....

Very cool.

Mother nature wanted some ice water.

I don't think I would have stood where you were standing. Flooding water is unpredictable. I know this from experience.

Funny how that gravity thing works.

More slush than ice.

Шуга идет

It would have been better if you were making video from inside the dam, same complaint I have when they show active volcanos from so far away.

That's an ice crust............. Not an ice dam.

I wonder how that effects the fish population.. That The Big T is already challenged to some degree

Time for your ice to leave.

WOW crucial upload!

nice country

really...😒

We're jammin.

Not exciting at all .

Seriously, you have never seen a Real ice dam, have you?

so

this is worse than watching paint dry

No ice dam brake seen - boring clip...

More like slush

That was underwhelming

This is just...(yawn)...so terribly...(yawn)...exciting. It's about as worthy of note as clumps of snow falling off of trees!

WOW......... Amazing.......i guess after a 5 month winter this is entertaining....... Yawn

Könnt ihr Amis nicht mal für 2 Minuten die Fresse halten!
