Peak 1 avalanche......

[Hott Butt Mud]

God damn yall are a bunch of MMQB's who can't even read the report before calling the "person" stupid.
From the CAIC:


Yeah, ballsy to be up there under current conditions, but if I have to hear one other internet jockey call someone a dumbass before knowing wtf happened I'm gonna puke.

Yeah, no shit. STFU you tards. This chick rips and she is a legend. Immune to the avalanchez!!!!!!!!!! All you mother fuckers who are talking shit can eat a big fat bag of Breck dickzzzzzzz!!!!!!1

[JaytaeMoney]

So what's the correct move then? Tiptoe to the ridge skier's left of the tracks coming down to the crown and then go back out the way you came?

[icelanticskier]

So what's the correct move then?

pull out cell phone, make a bunch of calls to touring partners, have them come join you cuz it's way safer for everyone, then call sar and life flight just in case. order chinese takeout just in case you make it out of the ordeal alive, then wait.

Why? After all it is the internetz, a place we can all call audibles.

I just want to meet this person and ask them about it. I wanna hear the story!

Yeah, no shit. I mean, they put in a pretty nice skin track, made nice turns, it's conceivable that they knew what they were doing at least somewhat. They should at least contact CAIC and give them some observation info.

[Shadam]

crossloaded eh?

no wait ... he/she skinned up and across a similarly loaded slope.

I guess its all about one's risk tollerances.

you should see the shit show of sledderz !!!
just yesterdy I got a settlement and only knew it coz I saw a little tree move and shed some snow. most sledders wouldnt have noticed it and even if they did they wouldnt have known wot it was. but us that have spent many many hours on skin tracks are all to farmilure with the new-ances of the snow pack.
I ride almost everyday and sledz have deff increased my risk tollerance.
just ask huckin eh about me skinning up and over a cornice.
but not with that sort of terrain trap below.

Mir Cat?

[spook]

so nobody knows who did it and caic is making an educated guess about what happened?

AFAIK that is the case. I saw the FFL chopper fly over my house that day and very quickly it came back. By the time they got there it seems the skier was gone.

Mir Cat?

Thats exactly what I thought when I heard solo woman.

Nice skin track?? Why would you skin across the slide path they ended up skiing instead of making a kick turn and gaining the ridge? They know how to ski/board but they don't know how to mitigate risk in the BC.

Iirc that face is pretty low angle. I've ridden a few of these lines. I've done them solo too.

[knumbskull]

Looks like an obvious slide path from this arm chair

i see what look like strokes on the bed but they're very wide but i have no idea how you ski down something like that. i guess i'm not sure how they can assume he set it off remotely.

Exactly what I was thinking when I first saw the pics. Those look like some decent turns, couldn't have been that low angle but I have never been there so who knows, maybe it is under 30°

Solo?! In the current conditions?! Over a huge cliff area?!

x a bazillion.

Doesn't look as steep as what slid at least...

[threepin247]

"Nice Skin Track" = HA! I thought the exact same thing!

It appears that there is a shallow depression just above the Crown, hence the longer turn radius just above the fracture, and limiting the visibility of the skier. Still......to be up there alone is just plain silly.

[Bunion 2020]

It is a somewhat nice skin track from one view and a heebie jeebie one from that last shot.

They may have released the entire thing with a clear view and in the aftermath felt it had been tested, slid big and they were good to cross where they did, but that last left to right feels a bit low and scary to this armchair.

Great exercise in terrain analysis and route finding though.

Easy there, defensive. Perhaps you were the chick who set this off, huh?

And you should go ahead and puke, because I'm still going to call this person out as having a death wish and I have no idea who they are or what their protocol(s) were. Let's all sit around and give everyone the benefit of the doubt as they perish...

[ShadyNasty]

Yeah, no shit. STFU you tards. This chick rips and she is a legend. Immune to the avalanchez!!!!!!!!!! All you mother fuckers who are talking shit can eat a big fat bag of Breck dickzzzzzzz!!!!!!1

took a break from TGR because of dumb comments like this (well and the knee surgery) and now it will probably continue, if she is a legend why doesn't she tell us the story or call CAIC?

I aint sayin she's dumb for going solo, stupid is as stupid does, I like solo missions and we've all made mistakes

but you are fucking stupid for even thinking the phrase "Immune to avalanches" and a rat-bastard for saying it out loud

whoever it was, they aren't as badass as Jeremy Jones and he wouldn't have done this

still if its a chica I want her #, but I won't tour with her

[shera]

It wasn't me! And anyone that knows me knows I don't ski that kind of stuff until spring corn. The pics are great!

A few years ago I heard of a guy that had a friend die in an avalanche. He was so sad that he went up on peak 1 every day trying to get himself killed, but didn't manage it.

Nope, but doesn't judging every avalanche incident as being kicked off by a moron get old? That's all the front range armchair qb's can do. Makes them feel good about the fact they were sitting in a cube all day staring at TGR. The person who kicked it off, probably has more experience than most of the people here calling them an idiot or saying they have a death wish. I don't know who it was, maybe they are a moron, but writing them off as such just means you loose out on thinking about what really happened and analyzing the incident and learning from it.

it really is the lulz. someone went touring, some snow let go in the vicinity of the skier. they skied away. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE BIG DEAL?! fuck if i started taking pics of all the shit i kick free in the past, present, and future while moving about avy terrain, these folks here wouldn't know what to do?

No judgement here, just observation. I'd say it looks like it was triggered in the shallow snow at the last kick turn, the lowest red circle. There is a crown line that extends diagonally from that point down to the more visible slide path. Once he crossed the upper crown he was likely in the bed until regaining the ridge. Looks like that shallower slide took the support away from that main gully.
