I will choose this option. I'm letting my body recover from the arbitrary Avalanche that I suffered. I want to conserve all my energy and rest my numb state of shock body. I don't want to overthink, assuming there's no more further episode of Avalanche. A temporary shelter that's what I need. I 'll look for route 12 in the morning , climbing the snowy mountain at night is not a good idea although I am really dying to find route 12 and find my room mate. I've got to have patience! I don't want to use the only flare gun I've got. Not right now,it might trigger another Avalanche.

While I am leery of the stability of the post-avalanche snow, I will assume the current state is safe for a snow cave now that the disaster is done and the snow has settled. Having actually dug a proper snow cave, I know they're surprisingly effective, and I know how to do it right. It'll be far better than a space blanket for warmth. Besides, I may discover something useful that has been buried. I can always climb the hill in the morning when there is more light, and I'd rather save the flare for getting someone's attention when I know they're looking. Why waste it now on a gamble?

digging in, being careful not to sweat too much. Trying to stay warm and dry.

I'm digging in, can't risk any other option with only an hour of daylight, I got a blanket , water , and energy bars, I'm good. I'll dig slowly to conserve energy and not get all sweaty.

This journey is really getting interesting.
I choose this option. Since it's getting dark, a snow cave will be the only way for me to survive the cold and wind at night.

Well, from what we've always been advised by our parents, we should always build a snow cave in an emergency, and I think that's what I'll do here.

Digging should be the wisest thing to do. It would soon be dark, and since I don't know where I am, it's best I stayed in a cave.

Option #1 for me. I'm very tempted to march onwards to find my partner, but if I have to trudge thru all this snow for an hour, I'll probably advance only a few hundred meters, if that! Besides, after defeating an entire avalanche, I'm beat, and I need a rest.
I'll dig a cave and have a nice warm rest. Snow has pretty decent insulating qualities, so I'll be quite warm if I stay in my cave and under my aluminum foil blanket.

An hour is not enough to find a shelter for the cold night, but it's enough to do one by ourselves. Also it's better to play safe that there's no help coming. Thus, I choose Option 1.

I go with this. With little shelter, an emergency blanket might not protect too well. I will build a snow cave.

Man, I can't believe I made it! As darkness falls, I gotta make shelter. It's getting colder and I don't really have enough light to get anywhere quickly.
I choose Option 1: I'm digging a snow cave.
I'm pretty sure I saw Bear Grills do this. LOL!

Option 1 seems correct to me. Building a snow cave fast seems right to me,to protect me from the fierce night wind and cold.

After some days facing repeated tests by nature. Today, my mind is numb. I am so tired after the snowstorm, I do know the cascade took me quite a ways down the mountain. Although my heart is aching to save my loved one but I have lost my snowshoes in the tumble. There is no way I can climb in an hour with my current tired state and no snowshoes. So I will choose this option.

This one. I'm shot from falling down the hill. I would start a fire and look around to create some shelter. Save the flare for later or in case the lighter doesn't work. I have enough food and water for the night. Survive the night and begin the climb tomorrow. Getting back on the main road should lead somewhere where supplies could to found.

I’m making a snow cave. We use to make igloos as kids. We’d form each brick but that would clearly take too much time here. But they were warm. We could go without our coats when we were in the igloos as kids. 😊
I started thinking about my choice after I posted last time and wondered if it would make you turn into a snowball! Ha! Then looked it up. Swimming toward the top is the best option. Or trashing to stay at the top. Which, I think your survival instinct would kick in and you would naturally trash around grasping to stay on top of it.

I am exhausted from the tumble and going to dig a cave - hoping that emergency crews have started to work on route 12 and have found my roommate. Don't know if I can sleep knowing that my roommate is in peril, but both of us dead is not going to help either.

option 1. every try walkin in the dark without snowshoes? it aint happening. Your buddy is in a car. You have nothing. build the snow cave like your life depends on it, cause it does. If you have to sacrifice your steel can and dump the water out to make a shovel do it.
your flare gun will only go up in the sky and come back down. If no one is in the area, no one will notice.

I think there's no use walking around in the dark with no snow shoes. I'll do this, so I can rest, and I'll save the flare for later. Hopefully there'll be no more Avalanches, although I'm quite worried about it.

Make like an Eskimo and make an impromptu igloo! The snow cave will block the elements and allow my body heat to warm the interior.
