Butterfly bowl

<p>Lucile was pretty tracked out so we ventured further back and dropped into butterfly bowl lots of untouched areas and we seen a spot that didn’t look to bad started playing on the hill one at a time about the 10th - 12th pull on the hill I was coming across the hill and my buddy was sitting down on the ridge/spine at the bottom when he felt the ground drop/shift he knew something wasn’t right but did not think it would let go but new he needed to get out of there turned around to start his sled up and then looked back by this time I was right behind him completely unaware everything behind me was sliding and coming down (he was waving his hand and I didn’t think much of it thought he was shaking his hand to warm his hands up) so i asked whats wrong? He says avalanche and I look over my shoulder and by this time it was moving very fast about 3’ to my right. We where very lucky that we where up on that little ridge (between where the pictures where taken and where the slide slid) because where the avalanche ran out is where we where turning around to climb the hill. The two tracks on the outside edge of the bottom of that slide are our last two tracks he was the furthest out and most of my track from coming down was buried from the slide. It happened extremely fast and had the potential for both of us to not be coming home.</p>
