Colorado Avy Fatality

[Goinboardin]

There was a slide in the Crested Butte area today that claims the life of a fellow rider. Rest in peace. My condolences to the friends and family. Not much info at this time, but here is the link to the Crested Butte Avalanche Center Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/cbavalanchecenter

It's a historic storm down there, with some major major slides happening. Please be careful. Over 9" of water in 13 days.

Same one that CAIC reported on it's Facebook page? Keebler pass?

 

[Goinboardin]

That would be it. Kebler Pass. ESE of Grand Mesa about 40 miles or so.

Wow, so sad. RIP. After reviewing the report I was really surprised to see the pictures. I was assuming this would have been steeper terrain. Obviously I still have a lot to learn about what to look for as I could see myself in this same situation.
