Just found this brief write up about the slide on Sunday and thought I would pass it along. The guy had an ABS pack on. Has a few pics.
[ame="http://www.backcountryrebels.com/showthread.php?t=11849"]Why you should go get an avy pack... TODAY! ( - Back Country Rebels - Forums[/ame]
Link wasn't working but I think this is what you are referring to...CIAC write up:

Reading the report makes me think instead of buying an ABS pack they should have picked up a map, dug around in the snow and not "ended up on a slope they planned on avoiding"
But the pack works...
Same incident but it was written up by the guy caught in the slide and had a few pics of the area. Not sure why its not working, I suck at the internet.
Link is working. It's a bit slow.
Dude was lucky, my first post is cunty... having read his post it looks like it was a shit happens kinda thing.
I think the site is down. I just keep getting a database error.
Same thread I believe - [ame="http://www.snowestonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=241549"]should you buy an ABS pack? Mine saved my life today, I vote yes. - SnoWest Forum[/ame]
Gripping description
I think that may be the same backcountryislife that posts here. Only person on my ignore list. glad he is ok . said he only got carried 100' hard to believe the airbag stopped him. Airbag does look like it works well. Watched The Way I See It the other day. Guy popped his two days in a row. Definitely kept him from getting damaged.
Yikes! I think he sleds with a few maggots, hopefully all are alright.
Jesus! I just read about this in today's Denver Post.
Yes, I know who it is, and thank god he is OK. Would love for him to speak up in this thread.
