Video of Snowboarder in Avalanche Might Lead to Charges

After putting a video online of getting caught in an avalanche, snowboarder Christian Mares is possibly going to face criminal charges. The video itself is frightening, but that’s not stopping the ski resort Sugar Bowl in CA from pushing to have charges pressed. The Placer County sheriff handed things over to the DA to look into what possible crimes were committed.
