He wrote, ‘As I turned and looked up I could see the snow wave coming. My brother’s back was turned and I screamed avalanche as loud as I could.’
Carlon wrote alongside the clip, ‘Extremely grateful for the outcome of the events this weekend. While riding up in the Uintas Miles, Hunter, Craig, and I were caught in an avalanche that buried us. We are extremely fortunate that we were all able to walk away without injury and take this as an extreme learning experience.’
