Avalanche: Little South Fork

Jacob and Aaron dig Tim's sled from a massive pile of bone crushing debris.

The damage to the sled is impressive. Missing seat, bend tunnel, and torn off hood...a true testament to the power of an avalanche.

Fortunately, this group was on their "A game". They only had one person on the slope, they were in a safe location watching their partner, and they perform a textbook rescue. Everyone in the group has attended our Avy Essentials class and Jacob commented how this training kicked in and became second nature.

The rider sustained lower leg injuries, was shuttled out by his group, and is expected to make a complete recovery! The sled, however, needed a tow out and some repairs.
