Mount Shasta located at the southern end
of the Cascade Range in Northern
California this solitary peak is
considered a legendary destination among
backcountry skiers and snowboarders on
this day
Jane’s Drummond an experienced writer
has set out alone for an epic adventure
but his action-packed thrill ride
suddenly turns into a date with sheer
terror he’s fallen into a deadly trap
known as a tree well a deep void around
the base of the tree that’s concealed by
loose unpacked powder gathered around
the branches
James knows he’s in trouble and manages
to dial his wife within minutes
hey this ski patrol is on route but
James’s troubles are far from over
a man under the snow on Mount Shasta
could take hours to find
now we’re putting you on James’s
snowboard falling headfirst into this
snowy hellhole
you need to buy time until rescue
arrives
what would you do hey use your legs to
create an air hole B pull yourself
closer to the tree trunk and take
shelter in the tree well or C use your
hands to cover your mouth
here’s what you should consider your
upside-down buried in snow and trapped
in a frozen deathtrap known as a tree
well tree wells are invisible on the
surface but get too close and you’re
sucked right in where you can suffocate
within minutes approximately 10% of
deaths in ski resorts are the result of
suffocation and snow and 9 out of 10
people that fall in are unable to get
themselves out the snow around you is
like quicksand
and as you buried alive it’s do or die
time and time is what you need make your
choice
a B or C
