Accident and Rescue Summary
A snowbike rider was caught, carried, and fully buried by an avalanche in the Eight-Mile Canyon area. Details on the slide are minimal.
From the reporting party, "Believe it or not, he could reach his radio and radioed in. Fully buried, was caught in the avi and wrapped up around a tree. Was at the back of the pack and those in the front didn’t know it happened right away. Was his first time riding. Definitely very shook up. But was able to ride out perfectly fine."
