Skier Accidental, Ogden Wall

The avalanche occurred on Mt. Ogden above Sherbrooke Lake. The second skier across the slope triggered the full depth avalanche at their skis. One skier was caught and tumbled down the debris/rocky bed surface for 500m thinking they were going to get buried multiple times. They ended up on the surface with the majority of the debris stopping below them. Two Parks Canada staff responded with just enough light to drop an overnight bag beside the skiers, and be dropped off themselves on the lake below. The rescuers toured up to the injured party, moved them off the avalanche path, and set up camp for the night. Everyone was flown out at first light the next morning.
