[VIDEO] TGR – The Debrief: Nick McNutt’s 2019 Avalanche Burial

At this point, you’ve probably heard of professional skier Nick McNutt’s burial in an avalanche accident while filming with TGR in 2019. After a successful morning of skiing big lines alongside Christina Lustenberger, Sam Smoothy and Ian McIntosh, McNutt decided to head up for a few minigolf laps on some tasty-looking pillow stacks above where the crew’s sleds were parked.

Midway down his second line, he dislodged a large pillow that broke into pieces and cascaded straight down his line. McNutt had already committed to the exit, and was hit full-force by the mass of moving snow, which dragged him through some trees and buried him deep on the flat lake surface below.

Join McNutt as he shares his thoughts on the experience.
