Same slide obs as other user but with photos. skier caught in trees before going over steep zone. I want to note that the first small group we passed on the typical skin up said there was enough people helping after we asked if our help was needed. We then got to the second group of people that were above the slide/buried skier, and they said yes please help. When we reached the skier, a person from the second group was there digging, and the skiers partner, but no one else. In the future, I would head straight to the incident to help, until I saw with my own eyes that things were being handled sufficiently—with caution for the surrounding terrain and risk of additional sliding, sluffing , etc. Thankfully skier was ok with seemingly no injuries, albeit being caught roughly by a tree.
