Sled Remote - Partial Burial

Todays travel philosophy for our group of 2 was making conservative choices in low angle terrain. We were only exposing ourselves to features that had already run during the previous storm cycle or which were small and isolated enough to not pose a threat.

Weather Report

Clement weather with periods of sun and temperatures just below freezing.

Incident Report

A group of 6 sledders (one was in the meadows below) briefly grouped up below a steep feature in an area with a handful of existing tracks. A size 2 avalanche was remotely triggered from a flat bench about 110m away from the crown line. A roughly 60cm deep slab propagated about 100m and ran about 100m burying one sledder up to his seat. No rescue was required and the machine was dug out with no damage.
