CAIC final accident report is now posted:
http://avalanche.state.co.us/caic/ac...=523&accfm=inv
Really highlights how a terrain trap can kill you. Burial depth was 12 to 14 feet.
"Rider 1 was buried too deeply to pinpoint with a 3 m probe ... Rider 1's snowmobile was deeply buried and not found."
That's fucking scary.
