powhound84ParticipantAnyone know anything about this one? This is the only record I can find of it. Skier triggered hard slab that looks like it took someone for a real ride. Hoping that not hearing about it means everyone made it out ok.

Go that way really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.

March 6, 2014 at 3:41 pm #675750powhound84ParticipantYeah that’s my assumption, as well. Was just hoping someone might have a bit more info. Looked pretty nasty.

March 10, 2014 at 2:13 pm #675752powhound84ParticipantAgreed, it has been a horrible winter. Was just asking if any locals had more info or knew anyone involved. We tend to pay close attention to the areas we ride regularly and that could have easily been a fatal slide.
