Not sure on that one. This one was about 500 yards past the ski are boundary just above the Sherwood lift. Judging by the force and length of this slide, I can't imagine anyone living through this. It slid from the top cornice which is about 800 vertical feet above this area. This is definately an area to have transponders and other people with you after a fresh snow fall.
I'll be out there this Sunday if anyone would like a little tour of this area? While the scenery at times is a little sketchy and a couple small challenges on the way, for the most part it is fairly mellow skiing.
