Avalanche
Followed fellow rider down into creek bottom noticed creek side walls were cracking and that we shouldn’t be there. The person that was buried had already bailed off into the creek bottom and it took us about 20 minutes to get to where he was and where the avalanche had happened. It was roughly 400 to 600 feet long with a 3 to 4 foot crest. Rider was fully buried under about 3 to 4 feet of snow.
