A Vermont search-and-rescue organization says it is “plagued” by “unprecedented numbers” of inexperienced skiers partaking in a dangerous TikTok trend, triggering a surge in lost skier rescues.
In a Facebook post, the Stowe Mountain Rescue said the viral videos show skiers in knee-deep powder that are luring inexperienced riders into Stowe’s backcountry - which is outside the boundary of typical ski runs at the nearby resort - at a time of year when the snow pack is unreliable.
