This is a video of some racing enthusiasts taking a warm-up lap (perhaps TOO warm) on a frozen lake when the lake lets them know it’s not that frozen after all and swallows a couple of the cars. That sucks. I mean for them, I’ve always wanted to see footage
This is a short clip of a horse who, after watching its human caretaker make a snow angel, decides to get in on the fun and make one of his own. Hey — you never know how fun something is until you try it for yourself. Now I’m addicted to
This is some helmetcam footage of skier Francis Zuber rescuing a snowboarder trapped in a tree well (aka a spruce trap — the area directly under an evergreen’s branches that doesn’t get as much snow as the surrounding area and creates a pit you can fall into and get buried)
This is a video of a powder cloud avalanche tearing down the trails of Mount Timpanogos at Sundance Resort in Utah while a group of skiers and snowboarders watch. Per one dude, “What the heck, bro?! That’s one of the biggest avalanches I’ve ever seen in my life!” Wow, just

This is a video from a 10km (~6.2 mile) toboggan trail in the Swiss Alps. That looks like a good time, complete with some relatively high speed straightaways and hairy turns. For reference, the longest sled ride I’ve ever taken was from the top of the hill at the local
