Comments
Skier triggered 3 separate point release wet slides at around 2:30pm. Skier was able to ski off to the side and avoid being caught up in these massive, slow moving slurpies. Slides ran through stands of aspens before the slope angle lessened to below 30 degrees. The slides were limited to last week's storm snow, and they ran on a combination of a stout bed of ice and dirt patches.
