Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek Commentary

Depicting the horrifying story of a group of skiers trapped in the center of a devastating avalanche in 2012.

"Each snowflake added to the depth, and each snowflake added to the weight. It might take a million snowflakes for a skier to notice the difference. It might take just one for a mountain to move."

The multimedia piece was written by John Branch – New York Times reporter. To effectively portray the tone and content, the article employs traditional written language available in all classic periodicals as well as various types of media.

traditional written language available in all classic periodicals, as well as various types of media. Audio samples, video, images, and automated animations are also employed and displayed over a sequence of three-dimensional maps.

These various media formats are employed as tools that assist the readers in further grasping the whole context of the incident – making the multimedia article less complicated.

What makes Snow Fall different from other publications?

Easy!

Establishes a great opener.

Snow Fall included a great illustration that allows the readers to have an initial thought about what the whole article is about. Also, putting more emphasis on the technicality of the text, the title itself, "Snow Fall," was written with sedateness. This sets the overall tone and establishes the entire story topic.

Reveals the power of description.

It gave life to the avalanche.

Telling a real story and making it realistic are two different things, with each having their own difficulties. However, John Branch didn’t step down from the challenge. Snow Fall (as mentioned earlier) tells the real-life story of skiers who faced a catastrophic incident as they were swallowed alive by the avalanche.

Branch didn’t miss using a great figurative speech in which he personified the Avalanche and

Portrayed it as "the enemy" of the story.

"…fresh, soft snow — instantly became the enemy."

How every event was paired with a description helped the readers a lot on how to picture the occurrence more accurately. Also, the way that the texts were verbalized like a novel tingles the mind of a novel reader like me. The use of a lot of similes and metaphors was highly appreciated.

Multimedia publication breakthrough

When we talk about multimedia publication, it means a publication that incorporates various kinds of media (photos, moving images, audio recording, etc.). John didn’t disappoint when he embedded a short video clip of the interview of Elyse Saugstad as she was "mummified" by the horrifying avalanche, a slideshow of photos (with corresponding relevant captions), moving pictures, and even a three-dimensional map.

Bonus: The character’s name, age, and title are embedded in a clickable link in the respective selection that they were mentioned. – A very smart way to include the audience in the life of the character beyond what is mentioned in the selection. To give the readers a sense of reality. Seeing the names with the included photo and identification makes it feel more authentic.

With the recognition received, the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Feature Writing and a Peabody Award come with the inspiration it imparts to the future of news and magazine publication. A cross between the print and digital worlds of publication.

TUNNEL #29

Looking at some random downloads, realized a common theme was that Tunnel #29 is The. Cutest. Tunnel.

The 2% grade from Denver up to the Moffat Tunnel crawls through South Bend Canyon (along South Bend Creek) with superfluous tunnels and a surfeit of sharp curves, thanks to the mandate of then-Chief Engineer H.A. Sumneso who surveyed the Moffat Route's well-nicknamed "tunnel district" at bountiful π/1 ratio of rail to "as the crow flies" distance as he tried every trick not to make it steeper than 2%

A blasted rock bore barely 78 feet in length, tight-clearance Tunnel 29 on the Moffat Route is at milepost 36.38 and sandwiched between one of Sumneso's super-tight 12° cruves and the "curved bridge with no name" over South Bend Creek (which is officially named "Bridge 36.45" after it's milepost location) The feature on the creek's right bank seems to be locally nicknamed the Gibraltar Cliffs, from whence railfans look down on the tiny trains below.

The cutest tunnel? Yep. Did I mention the Ski Train?

nothing hits like stories that pit the awe inspiring destruction of nature against the force of human bravery and resilience (and stupidity)
