This tree well almost took the life of young Ethan. His screams in the video below are terrifying enough.
If his father hadn’t been skiing with him and been above him at the time of this tree well incident he most surely would have died.
Tree wells are real. Tree wells kill.

The snow and terrain in this video looks amazing, the kind you just want to dive right into. But as the video shows you’d be foolish to do this alone.
Check out these tips on avoiding or surviving tree wells.
Glad Ethan made it out alive.
