Don't let the photo fool you... the two riders in this image were documenting the slide and performing a "mock rescue"!
Rolled up to this remotely triggered slide, just moments after it happened. Triggered from the flats by a super savvy crew that has been to plenty of our avy classes, these guys knew to avoid climbing hills today.
