A skier was caught and carried and partially buried while pinned to a tree and unconscious. The two companions quickly got to the victim and quickly revived the victim. According to a second-hand account, the skier tried to grab a tree (see the photo of the glove attached to the tree) and was able to do so for a few seconds before being carried. This may have helped save them from being carried more deeply into the debris. The crown of the avalanche was 12-24" deep and the avalanche propagated widely - over 600' and across two other drainages. This was a very large and dangerous avalanche with a fortunate outcome.
