Just to let you know we did have an out of bounds avalanche with injuries in Hells terrain on Wednesday 1/27/10. North facing terrain about 8200'. Two skiers were caught and carried one person lost all of his equipment and injured his lower leg when he hit a tree. The other skier was OK. No one was buried. Neither of the two skiers were carrying avalanche rescue gear and neither accessed the advisory. Patrol met them at the bottom of the canyon with a toboggan. We have not yet been able to see the avalanche to get information on size or dimensions.
