“Wasn’t sure if I was going to post this or not but this was at Palisades between Kt and Olympic lady on Wednesday feb 18th,” wrote Schmidt in his Instagram post sharing the now-viral video. “For whatever reason we stopped and happen to just see tips of the skis in the whiteout and luckily we did. Just want it to be a reminder to ski safe and ski with a buddy. Doesn’t have to be a an avalanche or a tree well to get buried when it’s that deep.”
