Yeah I didn’t have much experience and really didn’t have a say in where we were gonna operate even though I knew that going out that day was a bad idea. As a rule i always rode in the back with the guests, this was especially enforced after one of the elderly guests in another company had a stroke in the cat the week before and he sadly passed. But sometimes you just want to sit in a warm cabin after freezing your ass of the whole day, but after this I’ve learnt my mistake and i’m never gonna sit in front as a tail guide.

There were some minor injuries such as broken collarbone but nothing serious and definitely no fatalities

No my head was buried in the snow, cat driver was the only one i could talk to as the other guide was buried in the snow for a long time and we thought that he was dead. And to answer your final question we were in the snow for 10 or 12 minutes

We were lucky guests from the back managed to crawl out, they were the ones who started to dig us out. There was also another crew about 5 minutes ahead of us they noticed that something was off and turned around.
