One of the places we winter backpack

[Eaglebait Ranch]

Here is a link to a video of an avalanche in one of the areas Susan and I winter backpack, a snow mobile being ripped in two from the avalanche, and the rescue of the buried snow mobile driver. It is the first time something like this has hit me so close. On the other hand, the angle of the slope where the avalanche originated from is absolutely CLASSIC, and those people shouldn't have been anywhere near that slope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijpH7KuauE8
