I am really loving series!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ That was amazing!!! The expertise of these rescue crews are absolutely amazing!!!! I wonder if the group that ended up all having to be rescued thought they were much better at skiing and in much better shape? I find it hard to believe a experienced guide would intentionally put himself and or 6 people at such severe risks if he thought they were not good skiers and able to made it. Maybe the first sprain got them all shook up and after the adrenaline they basically crashed 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️❤️. Thank God for the experience of these teams!!! They work together better than I’ve ever seen any group work before!!!!!

@davidparkowski I don‘t want to argue with you, because I was surprised too, but please hear me out: I think that the time they had to wait the first two times cost them a lot of time and energy until they could continue. The injury was a misfortune that could have happened to anyone, also I am always surprised what gear people bring (or don‘t) when I see them in the Alps. No boots or backpacks, carrying 0.5l of water in their hands and wearing jeans. They usually get in over their head, can‘t go back and can‘t be overtaken without taking an enormous risk so you end up waiting for a helicopter to pick them up. So what I was trying to say it that I think it is possible that the guide had been lied to by his customers, but I do think that they should have had a good talk with him that evening.

In these types of sports where you're in the wilderness far away from any help, it's best to have a marking kit (bright green/ orange air panel), signal kit (mirror at minimum but flares/ pen flares are best), and some type of navigation gear to help you give SAR your position (gps, map/compass). Those will help locate you the fastest and help recovery teams be safe in doing so.

It would honestly be a big advancement if we had people wearing high-vis colors. I've looked at so many of these videos, with many people wearing mostly black / white or dark shade colors for clothing while doing high risk activities. Not only does that make work much harder for rescue specialists, it also decreases your chances of being seen before getting into trouble (like a fall or being swept away by an avalanche). Literally every respectable alpine clothing manufacturer has a big line up of clothing in bright high-visibility Green/Yellow/Red/Orange. No actual need to pack extra weight when you use your brain while shopping gear.

It's most likely mostly done to avoid littering all over the mountains and not to benefit the victims. Chamonix is a mayor free-riding spot and therefore definitely sees its fair share of people having to be liftet off the mountainsides in a relatively small area. If they wouldn't remove the equipment and/or trash, the mountainsides would be full of backpacks in no time.

Thermal cameras are not as effective as you might think in these conditions. The jackets and insulation skiers wear to keep warm stop almost all the heat from escaping. A thermal camera would be next to useless. NVG's are good, but only the pilot and spotter should have them. Using NVG's in those conditions, they're bound to not survive very long and they're very expensive. Plus once the pilot spots them, they can just use the spotlight. As for BFFF's, they might be useful, but in these conditions, they're just another mechanism that can break. You'll find a lot of the gear these guys use is super simple, just because it's cheap and the more complex something is, the more likely it is to break - especially in super unforgiving conditions.

Since 1733 rescue are free. But since 2016 (date of application of a new law called "Mountain law"), if they was careless action from the skier , the state or the township can ask for the reimbursement of the rescue cost. for example a medical helicopter is billed 54 euros per min + crew wage, ..... At the end it can be a big bill and if your insurance found you were careless, they will not cover you.

Dude, because of unforseen circumstances they had to wait a long time for the woman who injured her ankle. Before they could get to her, there were like 3 priority rescues or somethin, which probably took an hour or two. So the group was held back that long. Staying still for so long can exhaust you in that environment. Maybe they were capable just enough to complete it, but they weren't stupposed to have that long of a stop exposed to the elements there. Which fucked it all for the rest. The guide basically represents the top of the line fitness for such environment, customers are obviously not gonna be top of the line. You ain't getting other guides as customers after all. The customers are at most gonna be decent. Enough to go through the route exhausted to hell, but not enough to handle any unforseen circumstances. Especially not waiting at that location for hours and then continue...
