Safely Cross a Snowbank without Crampons or Ice Axe

I just made little steps into the snow by rubbing my foot, making it tilted lower towards the upside slope. That makes steps and helps position your foot safely and evenly. Hope my explanation makes sense like this

Chances of this happening in my living room are very small.

Good luck if the snow is frozen. This is extremely dangerous advice.

Only will work in the mildest conditions.... not steep, soft snow, no mistakes. Better advice, use the appropriate gear if you go into the "high alpine". The reason you fell in the first place is because you had no crampons or boots!😅

Get on your stomach and position ypurself like you would do push ups. So you enr up with just the tips of you feet and the hands/fists in the snow.
