There was a report of a near miss in the Gooseberry zone of the Fish Lake mountains. A rider was testing his new turbo on a steep northeast facing slope when it avalanched. The avalanche was reported as 900 feet wide and 8 feet deep at the deepest part of the fracture. He was able to ride the flowing debris for a while before getting thrown. He was pinned against a tree and ended up only half buried. This is the textbook example of what I've been concerned about with our current snowpack conditions. This rider almost lost his life. It was as close as it gets.
