This
picture was taken on top of S chute near the blowhole.
The
day started really good for Benji, Dano, Fred and Jf. They already had a jump
under their belts and They were looking at a step down jump. Benji wanted to
check the snow so he fired up his sled and went up the steep hill while JF was
waiting at the bottom with his sled not running and facing uphill. When Benji came down something weird
happen, all the snow around his sled started to crumble. JF didn't think any of it until he saw
the extend of the fracture and the wall of snow coming down towards him; That's when I fired up my sled and punch
it but my sled was digging in the snow and not moving said JF, after a few
second the sled started to move and I was traveling alongside the avalanche
while this was happening I look to my side and saw Fred, Dano and Benji
all racing towards a safe spot. When
the Avi stop we all look at each others and couldn't believe what just happen,
we were all stunned and knew that it could of been really bad. The boyzzzzzzz are sitting on 15 foot of
debris, safe and sound. They will live to drink another beer, Avalanche are
very unpredictable so travel with care and be extra cautious.
