Man uses rockface to avoid avalanche.

Occurred on January 22, 2020 / Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

"I was snowboarding down this couloir in the Utah backcountry. I had suspicions that the slope might give way, so I approached it on high alert. I saw the slope fracture 200 feet in front of me and was able to grab ahold of the rocks to keep myself in place. After it all settled out, I continued down to the bottom."
