November continued the dry trend with no major storms. But despite the lack of new snow, the weak snowpack resulted in several incidents. In a very close call, two snowboarders in the Logan area mountains hiked up into the Tony Grove area to build a jump. They triggered a large slide that buried one man to his neck and completely buried his wife. He was able to dig himself out and then he heard his wife yell!
