Southern San Juan

Avalanche

Reported to local forecaster at top of Wolf Creek pass. A party had been skiing on Sheep Mtn, which is around 12,800 ft in elevation on Friday Jan 27. Sheep mountain is at the eastern side of the Wolf Creek USGS quad. The party had made one run & were skinning back up a narrow ridge and they got a little too far over onto the lee-SE aspect side of the ridge and triggered a HS-ASu-R3-D2. One person took a ride, maybe full path, suffered some bumps and bruises and some lacerations but not buried.
