At about 1pm I witnessed these two split boarders on their second run just North of Red Cliffs on the PC Ridgeline. Because of their top point I had eyes on them most of my skin back out.. I watched first guy come down and stop about 1/3 way down run. His partner headed down and crashed in crust layers.I watched him get up met with his partner and both headed down the drainage of Red cliffs. When they crossed the next drainage ( mother in law chute) they triggered slide from below. The slide covered some of their tracks and I witnessed them ski out out onto Squaretop Lake. Since I don't see their report I thought I should let you all know that the point has come to a HEAD! Be careful out there and Watch Out for the other guy!
