Gunnison

Avalanche

Avalanche first reported via text to CBAC from a party that observed the recent debris and tracks while sledding in the area on Monday. Size estimated from photo; either D1.5 to D2. A 2nd-hand report from someone who spoke with members of the involved party said the avalanche was unintentionally triggered by a skier on the slope. The avalanche caught, carried, partially buried, and injured a photographer who was standing lower on the slope. Details are forthcoming.
