In what has increasingly become known as ‘Kodak courage’, a lone skier being filmed skiing Mt. Superior triggered a small wind drift just off the ridge on a 42 degree, northeasterly facing slope. He was able to stay on his skis for a short while before the debris from a subsequently triggered slide 3 to 4’ deep and 250’ wide overwhelmed him, carrying him nearly two thousand feet down onto the Superior apron below. Lady luck smiled on the skier, as he landed on top of the debris, sustaining only minor injuries. His ten minutes of fame came soon, as the survivor and his footage were interviewed and shown on national television.
