Some reckless decisions were made today, feeling lucky to walk away only down one ski. I’ll submit a full report when I’m home.
UAC Staff edit: From another report, "Skier entered a north facing chute towards the very end of the skin over from Patsy, broke an avalanche on his second turn. Carried several hundred yards before reemerging buried up to this stomach, his head above the snow."
