Crystal Mountain Avy Vid

I was one of the folks lined up at the gates on 12/18, and heard about this incident when I cycled through for another lap.

 

Thankfully the victim survived, and there's a good thread on this at TAY that has quite a bit of detail from folks who were on the scene. I thought I'd cross-post it here for those that don't peruse that forum:

Looks like the story also made national news:

Thanks for the link, Great to hear that she survived and was found. Several lessons to learnm for any of us in the BC. Good discussion on TAY. Also strictly anacdotal evidence but after a little search of pepes and videos it is interesting to note that the ones with helmet cams wer the ones getting the apparent "random" readings. Definatley needs more study.

 

One the flip side this is a great video to share as it is as real as it gets for a scenario in class.
