Comments
Riders report remotely triggering a large avalanche. No one was caught.
"We never got within 50 yards but it was a sonic boom. We were having a memorial for a rider that died over the ridge of that hill 6 years ago and were a group of 14 but we couldn’t get to the area with women and kids. As we left, there was a collapse and a boom. The crown was in the clouds. It will be a week before I get that way again"
