Skiing to the highway from a remote weather station at Windy Point resulted in a brush with death for Michael Zyilicz, avalanche technician for the Ministry of Highways in Terrace. by Daniele Berquist Zylicz and co-worker | Alan Denis, the avalan- che technician from Stewart, had flown into | Windy Point on the mor- ning of April 30. Zylicz and Denis were skiing a back to the highway after the completion of repairs, when Zylicz became engulfed in a small, wet avalanche. Zylicz said that the avalanche broke above him and then caught his skis. ‘‘I attempted to self arrest with a ski pole. The snow was so soft that I had no purchase. The heavy, slow moving snow pulled on my skis and they felt like an- chors, Zylicz noted. He was unable to stop his descent and began to get rid of his equipment to free himself of encum- 1 brances. ‘'The, slide in- creased its speed and volume,’’ Zylicz said, ‘and I was tossed around completely out of control.’” The feeling, noted Zylicz, was similar to be- ing adrift in an ocean storm in a glass bottle «.. You are completely at the mercy of the elements and have no control of your destiny.”’ As the speed increas- ed, said Zylicz, I was thrown forward and I was heading downhill head first, completely encased by falling, wet snow. As Zylicz reflected on the event, he said the feeling of speed impress- ed him. “I couldn’t believé how fast I was travelling, Little did I realize that I had been free-falling within the avalanche over a cliff of 5 about 60 feet in height. I hit and bounced several times on my way down. Zylicz recalled one hard impact when he struck his head and had - to fight to retain con- sciousness. He remembered a taste of blood but not the rest of the fall. ' My next feeling, said Zylicz, was one of un- controlled speed and bouncing as I was squirted out of the avalanche, I was travell- ing down the slope of old avalanche snow. When Zylicz came to rest, he dragged himself across the snow into the bushes in case of further avalanches. By then he had ended up 200 feet below the bottom of the avalanche that caught him. a, Mike Zylicz At this point, said Zylicz, his co-worker Denis had skied down to him and called Van- couver Island Helicopters and the hospital. Denis proceed- ed to administer first aid to Zylicz. I can recall, said Zylicz, being wet, Terrace Review — Wednesday, May 7, 1986 23 Avalanche sweeps local _ resident to brush with death cold, shivering and in a state of shock. Zylicz said the helicopter arrived shortly . and thanks to some ex- pert flying by Don Phip- pen of V.ILH., ‘‘I was plucked off the moun- tain and taken to the Stewart Hospital. Zylicz said that he had been carried 500 feet ver- tical down the mountain when all was over. After: a moment of reflection he added, ‘I’m lucky to be alive.’’ Zylicz received a number of injuries..A sprained left ankle, torn ligaments in the left knee, a suspected com- pression fracture of a thoracic vertebra, abra- sions of the left side of his face, a deep gash above the left eye which went into the sinus cavi- ty, many bumps on his head and general bruis- ing. Zylicz said his full- size back pack may have saved his life. His sec- tional -avalanche probe carried in the back pack was bent and his steel shovel was dented in numerous places. Zylicz said that although they had check- ed the route over careful- ly, discussed the snow conditions and then decided it was possible to ski out, the mountain called the last shot. In hindsight, we made our decision to ski out that morning ... We checked the route with the helicopter ... We were aware of the snow conditions and that we could do the run safely ... But as it turns out, after what occurred in the mountains on that Wednesday, April 30, 1986, Mother Nature had last bat and, said Zylicz, I ran out of strikes, Men’s slowpitch has 13 teams As an incentive to players this season, the 13-team Terrace Men’s Slo-pitch Softball League has divided into two divisions, with ac- tion every day of the week except Saturday.
