Hiker caught on video caught in avalanche while riding snowmobile

In Kamchatka, a Russian tourist caught in an avalanche survived thanks to the help of friends – one of the eyewitnesses filmed the incident. Video and details published Instagram-channel @skidookingkamchatka.

It is reported that a group of tourists went on a snowmobile trip to the Bannye hot springs – right during the ride, an avalanche descended on one of the participants. The men who were nearby began to dig out a comrade, first of all cleaning his face and hands.

The footage shows how two tourists dig out a man stuck in the snow up to his neck with shovels. The author of the video commented that the person caught in the avalanche was alive and asked a friend to “say hello” and “wave their hands” to the camera.

Earlier in November 2021, the remains of a tourist from Germany, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances almost 40 years ago, were found in Rocky Mountain National Park (USA). So, accidentally discovered skis, sticks, boots and other personal items belonged to a German climber who disappeared in 1983.
