Comments
The caught/carried is rumor. More details to come. Other info by Jake Hutchinson at the Canyons Ski area.
Debris 12' deep. Led to a full search by ski area personnel, exposing them to significant hazard. No one was found. If you trigger a large avalanche adjacent to a ski area, please call Alta Central at 801-742-2033 to report it to prevent wasted, dangerous search efforts. Thanks - Drew
