SAR response to Lumberton riding area afternoon March 3.
Crown height average 100 cm. Suspect early Feb crust/facet interface is the culprit. Lots of recent loading and winds. A sympathetic release occurred 150m to the east of this slide, with the crown fracture propagating along the same elevation contour.
Airbag deployed. Trees were involved during slide causing serious lower body injuries.
