We’re were out in Koko today. We triggered a size 2.5. He made it the top the ridge and it broke off. From the north all the way around. Air bag saved him we found him right away near the bottom the slide path only thing sticking out was his head. Sled was burried 260cm down. Failed on the persistent layer. He was fine talking and there was 9 of us there had him out really quickly. It took 2.5 hours dig the sled out. Thankfully everyone made it home safely and unhurt.
