Witnessed a solo snowboarder get caught and carried as he was making his way down Scotties. I had just gotten out of the car when I heard someone hooting and having a good run down Scotties. Charged over a roll over around mid slope and pulled a small pocket out. Broke out about 30 feet above him. He was carried but not buried or injured. Spoke with him in the parking lot, briefly. It scared me because I was the only witness and had he been buried, it would have taken me awhile to get to him.
