A chilling bodycam video has surfaced online showing a skier and her dog narrowly surviving an avalanche in Andorra on January 8. The footage documents a terrifying moment in the mountains, capturing the raw danger of the situation and, more importantly, the bond between a human and her dog.
Bodycam footage reveals dog and her skier tackling an avalanche
The video begins with the skier moving across a snowy slope while her dog stays close by her side. Within seconds, the calm scene turns dangerous as snow suddenly breaks loose and rushes downhill. The bodycam captures the roar of the avalanche as it surges forward, swallowing the slope and forcing the skier to react instantly. As the snow moves rapidly around her, the skier struggles to keep her balance and escape the worst of the slide. Despite the chaos, her dog refuses to leave her side. The footage shows the dog attempting to stay near her, even as conditions become increasingly dangerous.
After the video circulated, viewers quickly filled the comments with messages of support and relief. One user wrote, “So terrifying. Happy for you and your puppy to be safe!!” Another commented, “How terrifying, and the dog is still trying to stay close to her. (Mama’s best friend)I can’t understand what she’s saying, but I’m sure she was telling him to stay away. Glad they’re both safe..” A third viewer praised the skier herself, calling her amazing and expressing gratitude that both survived the ordeal. One viewer commented, “God blessed your survival.“
While many viewers expressed relief and admiration, others used the comments to raise serious concerns about avalanche safety. One commenter pointed out the real-world dangers, writing that two people had recently died in the Leavenworth area of Washington due to similar conditions, adding that some viewers “don’t seem to understand how that could’ve been death.” Another questioned the decision to bring a dog into such a risky environment, asking, “Why are people putting their dogs at risk like this?”
