This is amongst the worst things that can happen on the mountain.

Skiing is an incredibly fun sport. It can also be stupidly dangerous, depending on where you’re doing it.

In general, the most fun runs are those with untouched, pristine snow, which means that if you crave such an experience, you must go pretty far out of the way to have them.

Here, a man was skiing down some beautiful powder when he quickly discovered that some of the snow was covering a massive hole. Thankfully, he was rescued, but had things gone a little bit differently, he could have easily succumbed to an icey death.
