Comments
Coming down Lucky and an avalanche occurred while a member of the group was traversing away from a steep slope. The snow on that slope caught and carried a skier who was below in the gully. The skier was able to free himself after being carried about 50 feet. Slide looked like it was a new snow avalanche problem.
