Comments
I received a report that a large deep slab avalanche to the ground in places was remotely triggered from the base of a north facing bowl between Super Bowl and Tower. The crown was estimated at 1000ft wide. The rider was blown off his sled. He deployed his airbag and ended up on top with no harm done and luckily the rider's sled was only partially buried.
FORECASTER NOTE- we plan to gather more details and visit the site of what sounds like a truly remarkable slide
