Comments
While digging into a cornice lead person digging misjudged the depth and size of cornice, when the cornice was triggered it pulled back 4-8ft into the rocky ridge which caused the lead person digging to fall into the dry loose avalanche. They were able to stay on top of the avalanche and self recovered and walked away uninjured
