Avalanches are scary AF from the outside; can't imagine what it's like to live through one. Hope these people bought a lottery ticket soon after.

No point in the lottery ticket. All their collective luck has been spent! Happy to read everyone survived

I read an article about one that killed a group of skiers. One of the survivors dug out his friend, who was crushed into a ball shape with every limb disjointed and most bones broken.

Oh my god.. I've always wondered what the aftermath of being in one would look like, that's awful.
