I got stuck in a tree well at Mad River Glen a few years back. Tight tree line - that all the kids went down - and of course I had to follow my kids. It had just snowed about 20 inches or so.. and the next thing you know, I was in the well. 3:30ish ... Lucky my face wasn't covered though body was. I started to yell for help - though nada.. The kids were all worried and I was too.. The pitch was steep - and since I was head first going downhill, I noticed that some of the snow starting to slide out.. I then decided, well I better start to move and maybe this will give enough for me to get out, though worried that the snow on the high side would give in and cover me. I got lucky - the snow beneath me just gave way and I slid with it enough to get leverage to pull myself, with skis fully on out. It was now about 4pm.
A bit cold, though relieved....
