- Terrain Summary
- <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Very reliable third hand report of a catch, carry, and partial burial on a steep, wind drifted slope on the west side of Tower Mountain. Could've been a nasty ride had the sledder tagged one of many dead trees in the runout. Close call but everyone came home safely at the end of the day.</p>
