AlpineK Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) The avalanche happened just below the start of the Slot Couloir on the Phantom side. The avalanche was a slab (20" I think) of new snow on top of this weekends snow surface. I believe three people out of a group of five were in it. You're right on names. A rescue group put two of the injured on toboggans and brought them out. One broken femur. and a messed up knee. Everybody made it out. There's more discussion here: http://www.turns-all-year.com/skiing_snowboarding/trip_reports/index.php?topic=20449.0 Edited April 8, 2011 by Feck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
