Rumor avalanches

One of my good friends just posted this on Facebook..

Wow, a troll all the way from Utah? High Pressure pattern got you pretty bored out there?

avalanche or a chunk of hangfire from the headwall

Did patrol make you have a beacon, probe and shovel to ski it?  

Sounds like Patrol maybe should not have been above where skiers are coming in to the trail if it was not open up there.  

Sounds more like hangfire. It didn't break out from under them, came from above and took them out. Said they went for about a 50 ft ride, and the patrollers were stomping on it trying to get it to release. On an open trail. With people under them.

Rumor at Gore, Avalanched? But the calendar isn't 4/1.

 Good thing they don't give Gore Patrol explosives for Avy work
