The first things I noticed when I read this were the slight movement in the first image. It’s not quite a video, but the movement makes the image more dramatic and also lonelier, it conveys a sense of emptiness that I don’t think a still image could. The second thing I noticed is how the opening  tells a story. It’s not until several paragraphs in that the specific details are revealed. The story puts you there it relates the experience of an avalanche into something much more relatable, the feeling of being sucked in by an ocean wave. The combination of the two is what allows you to more clearly image what happened from the very beginning.

The article then goes into more detail about Tunnel Creek going into the area’s history and why people like to ski there. The combination of the geographical model and old photos from the 1910 avalanche add to the picture the first section already started forming in your head. A video included helps to explain why skiers like to ski in the backcountry despite its dangers. As the article explains these dangers are prevalent in Tunnel Creek as it continues to tell the story of what happened there expanding  that story with side shows that can be accessed through the article or clicked on in the margins. Each layer of the story is added to or accompanied by some form of multimedia or another. It’s a layered format that allows the media used to add to the story and makes it all the more interesting to read. The combination makes the story being told have a bigger impact on the reader and to stick with them after they’re done.
