Wow they were super lucky and followed proper avy protocall except for when they dediced to ski the new slide

I've posted multiple times to stay far away from the new slides.  Irene happend so late in the season that there is no vegitation at all on those new slides - its all just rock and there is nothing to anchor the snow to especially with the crappy snow pack we have this season those new slides are death traps - remember that skiers have died in slides in past years and those new slides are just way too dangerous
A true measure of a person's intelligence is how much they agree with you.

Scary stuff. when we were headed in, there was talk of another avalanche the day before as well.
Either Ore Bed slides or Chicken Coop (I'm leaning towards Chicken Coop) look like it had slid.

Here's a video that Drew posted on the site, looking at the crown and slide path.
