Snowboarder was buried alive under the snow in Khakassia

In Khakassia, a freeride snowboard instructor found himself under a snow column equivalent to the height of a three-story building. The rescue operation required the participation of his entire team. Information about this spread Telegram channel Mash.

According to reports, the victim is 39-year-old Igor Lysenko. He, along with the group, climbed in Priiskovo, a popular area for off-road skating.

The incident reportedly occurred due to a misunderstanding. The instructor instructed his group to follow him strictly. Before starting the descent, he went to check the condition of the snow cover and approached the edge of the snow formation on the slope. The members of the group mistakenly thought that their mentor had already started on the route and headed towards it. Under the influence of the load, the snow canopy collapsed, and the guide was covered with a snow mass, the height of which reached the level of a three-storey house. Snowboarders immediately began excavations, and Igor Lysenko was saved.

Recall that earlier in the Besengi gorge of Kabardino-Balkaria there was an avalanche that covered a group of climbers. According to preliminary data, the death toll was up to 16 people.
