Umm. It happens. I was pretty damn stuck and buried deep. It took two people to pull me out. It was 4+ feet deep and I was was maybe 5 foot at the time. 196” base and 36” of fresh powder nothing to grab on to getting cold fast. Now imagine if you got knocked out and the lifts shut down for the night. Dead by dawn.
I see what you’re saying, yes; with that much snow it is a different story altogether
