Avalanche: Currant Creek Peak

Crazy deal here. Ted and I work on Currant Creek Weather station, get it buttoned up and are on our way back to sleds when I suggest we dig a pit in a safe location on the shoulder the verify snowpack structure. As we're wrapping up we hear a huge, thundering collapse, see trees shaking in our periphery, and catch a powder dust cloud. We hear sleds in the distance and are pretty sure we're gonna be part of a rescue. We quickly throw our skins back on so we can gain the ridge and start planning the rescue. Luckily we see a group of sledders in the distance, waving the all clear as they clean their shorts. Amazing no one was caught.
