Avalanche
Met two tourers in parking lot who related story of one of them being caught and carried in an avalanche in the West Fork area just below the divide ridge line. They reported skier who was caught was on the skin track up when avalanche released and carried him down and over rocks. He was thankfully uninjured and I was grateful they were able to pass along the details of the event.
