Quite amazing how stuck you can get even with just snowshoes on. Assuming the snowshoer was upright too and very lucky indeed.

this feels like it was not as common 20 years ago.
i think phat skis and floaty boards are part of the reason.
folks tended to slay the corduroy mainly inbounds, besides the hardcore that always skied da trees.
vibes to the man's family:-(

Tree wells are what give me nightmares. It is amazing how such a simple innocuous thing can be so deadly.
