Very scary - just goes to show how carrying the correct equipment can save lives. They were damn quick getting him out but I bet it felt like an eternity for him - you can hear the panic in his breathing. I was shouting at the screen!

re: Avalanche!

Has anyone seen the film Avalanche?

So bad it's good, and best of all it was filmed in Borovets!

re: Avalanche!

On it's way from the states for less than the price of 2 pints (including the postage). Wow it hasn't changed that much but there are a few things that stand out. It isn't in the movie, or at least in the bits I just scanned through, but does anyone remember the bungee catapult?
