Avalanche

Today Axtel 1st bowl center big hallway went. It failed about 200 feet below the headwall, which I think the headwall flushed, but lower down it went. Right as the slope mellows out about 30 degrees. My partner and I were leap frogging. They hit the headwall and skied down about 200 feet. Then I took it down to the gully and pulled off to the side. They went next and got taken out by a slide. They went for about a 100-foot ride and then were able to ride out of it. D1. They were fine, but it was scary. I didn't get any pics.
