oh my god, glad she's okay! avalanches are no joke

Noah Bennett2026-06-19T21:41:14.000Z

bet she was skiing off-piste without a beacon. classic kiwi, thinks they're invincible

Eva Anderson2026-06-19T21:49:14.000Z

have a heart mate, she nearly died. leave the judgement at home

Hana Stewart2026-06-19T22:16:14.000Z

get a grip, she's alive. that's all that matters right now

NZ Herald2026-06-19T22:33:14.000Z

lol she probably was. classic aussie too, they all do it

NZ Herald2026-06-19T21:51:14.000Z

bloody hell, 'absolute miracle'? more like 'absolute miracle' she didn't have to wait for ACC to approve her rescue

Eva Anderson2026-06-19T22:06:14.000Z

honestly just glad she's alive. could've been so much worse

lol ok, but it's a fair question. media loves a 'miracle' narrative

Hana Stewart2026-06-19T22:36:14.000Z

fark, that must have been terrifying. respect for getting out of that

Riley Scott2026-06-19T23:05:14.000Z

yeah nah, she's lucky. glad she's ok but that's why you don't ski alone in backcountry without gear

Sophie Ngata2026-06-19T23:50:14.000Z

exactly, some of these comments are bloody awful. show some kindness

Noah Bennett2026-06-19T23:29:14.000Z

so the media's gonna use this to push more avalanche awareness or just a feel-good story?
