Sketchy details:
Apparently, a skier in west Porter Fork was "testing the slope" when he triggered an avalanche, was caught and reportedly buried 3' deep. His two partners quickly dug him out. Although his partners called and requested help and a medical helicopter arrived, the buried skier was OK and skied out on his own. We hope more details are reported to us and we will add them to this site if they are.
