Linderman said he had a bad feeling and was leaving just as it hit. He was forced to head thru the trees and looked over his shoulder and saw the wave hit behind him. So lucky to be alive.

I was involved in the avy at turbo today. i made it to the trees in time and didnt get burried. i must say it looked like a war zone with parts and pieces of sleds and helmets everywhere. i left the avy scene at around.6:30 and i had herd of 3 confirmed death and many injuries. i must say that this is the most horrific thing i have even seen in my life. Its nice to know that a bunch of stangers can work well as a unit when needed. there was plenty of line searches performed with probes. many people were asking complete stangers for double rides down because there sleds were burried. sorry for the poor grammar just wanted to give you guys a quick update. im still in shock and the avy coming down and covering all the people and sleds is played in my mind every five minutes. i send my condolences to the families that lost there love one. this is a tragic and eye opening event.
What kind of weather was there? Was it fresh snow and snowing?
Help everyone to understand what it was like up there?
To whom made the post about a sled parked on your hood...please explain the post about having a sled parked on top of your hood? You mean that much snow fell today or it was buried from Avy?

We are riding in new Denver and were going to go to bis but changed our minds at the last minute. It has been snowing hard for three days. We are in hip deep snow here and I imagine revy is the same. Warnings have been extreme and warnings of possible large fast slabs have been frequent.
for what its worth..
Saw a screen shot over on snow and mud. PapaVeedy was viewing the thred going there, I didn't see Veedy up as an active viewer on that thred. don't know if that helps.

Veedy is ok!
it still doesnt seem real, me and my 2 buddies had just pulled into turbo and we looking for a group that we were going to meet up with. i heard some screams and saw some avy bags being deployed, i turned around and saw a cloud of snow dust, i pinned it for a goup of trees, just made it out of the slide path by about 10 ft, a guy behind me got caught in the slide and i think the sled rolled over him, he got out tho, 20 ft away a guy got his neck broke. i cant even explain what it was like, it was sickening. i'm still shaking.
i wish this all was a dream, sadly its not. i know my sledding season is done.
