Comments
We were two splitboarders descending trees just east the skin trail up grizzly shoulder. Had to self rescue my partner who got tripped on underbrush and got flipped and buried in 4-6 ft of sluf. Be safe travel close and keep eyes on your partner. The terrain traps can be deadly in these conditions.
