FUAC, I believe your google map point is 1 Bowl off.
The area is called Humpy Creek Bowl. We don't venture over to that area just because it is so big with Huge run out.
this was our route
Moffit Basin Avy?

As I thought. I know those 4 bowl areas like the back of my hand.

it has been my playground for 20 years or so
I think we saw you two drop into humpy creek as we came over from double hill, we were on three M8 cats, green HCR, orange, and a black one. Probably would have been right behind you but had some electrical problems and had to head out. Passed all the rescue tems heading in. Sorry for you loss, I can't even imagine.

I know this is tough on everyone who knew Dennis. I too, am deeply saddened by this tragic accident. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.

Denny was a riding buddy and a neighbor. Had some great rides with Denny and that is how I will remember him. I have chose to use this as a positive and have pulled the people I work with in and introduced them to Denny. Then in a tone that I don't usually use asked them if they use a becon "ALL THE TIME". I have got a few "usually" and a few more "I don't have one". Then there is the "What good is it if I'm the only one who has it". My reply is to introduce thier friends to my riding buddy Denny. I have got one who immediatly went on line and bought one, another who is looking to ask for one for a x-mas gift, and a third who promised to wear it all the time. Right now there is 4 of them gathered up on a computer looking at equipment. If it changes anything I don't know, but I don't want to recieve another phone call that one of my riding partners has passed away in a avalanch. So I am going to do my part to spread the word about my riding buddy, my neighbor, and a all around good guy.
R.I.P. DENNY........May you ride the sunniest days in the deepest powder.

I really think there has to be an easier way for people to learn to be prepared, be aware of their surroundings and be ready for the slide that you never expected.
Everyone, please be safe and please advise everyone around you to do the same.

We played our way over to this area today. 
Very sad. It make's you really think, even when you've never met the person before. I can honestly say I rode mentally different than I usually do.
Paying our respects.
