Averted Death in Avy On Grand Mesa - Winterfreak, Keithcat, and Justin

[backcountryislife]

DO you know what was happening when it went? Was he climbing, riding underneath it & set off a remote? driving down the trail? I'm not really getting how it happened.

Sitting it out ain't an option! (unless you don't have a new sled yet...)

The 3 of them were just riding on the trail.

Leaving the Mesa today practically every wind loaded hill I saw had slid. Just a ton of new snow in a short period of time.

Glad everyone is ok. Looks super deep up there!

I have a full HD helmet cam of the burried sled that took us 2 hours to get out. The sled was down about 6ft.

Glad to hear that no one was hurt or lost..

When time permits, PLEASE upload the video so we can all take a look at it!

A link to a youtube/snowest.com video once we get off the mountain next week will be posted. Full HD video of the break line, and trying to find the sled, as well as Justin a little dazed as to what just happended to him.

I need to edit the video fist since its over 15 minutes long.
