Comments
Witnessed a party of two involved in an avalanche crossing the “Home run” gully. Member 1 was breaking trail across the frequent flyer slope & remote triggered a ~15cm deep slab above them that entrained a great deal of snow. Victim went for a 50m ride & arrested himself on trees facing down, no injuries. We turned around, approx 10-15 folks continued beyond, breaking trail on the fresh debris. Extremely high winds and ~40cm by noon today.
