The beginning of the article immediately ropes in the reader with its effortlessly interesting prose. I was brought into the moment of the avalanche, and was immediately anxious to read more. As the first part of article went on, the flourishing multimedia throughout kept me enraptured. I personally have little interest in skiing and knew nothing prior about the avalanche at Tunnel Creek, but the structure of the piece was enough to maintain my interest. I especially enjoyed the miniature profiles of the people mentioned that appear when the cursor hovers over their name, because it gives more insight. They become more familiar and feel like real people, and less like just names on a screen. The embedded video clips and slideshows were also great inclusions.

However, as I read through the first part and second part, the story itself began to feel excessive. The writing was very good, but as aforementioned, since it was a topic I had little interest in, the initial wonder wore off. Although, it was indeed an example of exemplary multimedia journalism. The story was less interesting, but the way it was reported made it truly appear amazing.

I think this form of journalism would really benefit when used for articles involving big crime stories. The writing could describe the incident, and photos and videos could be of victims, suspects, police, theories, etc. It would provide great insight and even entertainment. Furthermore, a piece like this could also work on a story about politics, or even other natural disasters. I feel the only requirement for articles written in this matter would be that the topic itself would have to be something of interest for the readers, so that they do not get bored and click off the page. After all, journalism to this degree almost demands to be seen.
