Funny how a lot of people that ride this area don't consider this avalanche country. Have seen a few smaller ones in the last few years and have even broke a couple small ones myself,being aware what I was doing.
But this guy is one lucky young man, my boy and I had to clear the runout zone quickly as I watched this happen. I had rode across the bottom, eyeballing the hill, made one short run up and got the he!! off it, snow was pretty deep on it. I was thinking this wasn't a good time to be playing on Fiberglass Hill, when this thing broke. This guy and his buddies were very lucky, it was their LUCKY Day.
Be careful out there people, and for Pete's sake wear your avalanche tools, a ton of riders out there without even a backpack. Every steeper bowl we saw in the last 2 days had slid and would go again with very little provocation.
Rode north on Fri., in the drainage past Lake Creek there is a chute I rolled a sled down a few years ago, and a couple years later it slid as we were packing a track up off to the side of it to get up on top to play in some bowls, we had passed on that face that day, anyways, I noticed from the trail that it had been marked up in the last couple days, that's plumb damn crazy.
