I always worry about taking half of someone's face off when I am digging them out.

Meh. The people I know are not that esthetically pleasing to begin with.

The idea is to try to find their feet and dig up to the face..quickly.

Sure, but they‘re probably in favor of keeping their face where it is, whether they like looking at it in the mirror or not

Hitting someone buried with a shovel in the face can cause as much damage as the avi. You just have to remember that their is a person under there you are trying to uncover.

Your probe strike will tell you how far under the victim is.

I don't know, I think the most important thing to do is open their airway back up. You know, the ABC's of basic first responder stuff.

They look like they got super stoked and just bombed it...shit happens.

If a group I was guiding did that I'd be infuriated. Gang skiing suspect slopes is really dumb. Either the group didn't listen to their guide or the guide failed to lead properly.

Edit: I just watched the vid, these guys weren't with a guided group but I'd want to be 100% sure that a slope wasn't going to rip if I were going to trail my buddy like that. And I mean 100%. What if they were both burried? I guess there was a third in their party but jeez........gotta get that footy tho.

Last year we heard some people above us..in the avi 4 terrain..we got away from that fast.
