This slide occurred on Sunday, 11/8/15 north of Emigrant Peak. The skier who triggered the slide was caught briefly, but fortunately was able to ski off the slab. Although small in size, this avalanche would have had severe consequences due to the steep and rocky terrain. The slide occurred on a wind loaded slope with a northeast aspect. This slide is similar to the one that caught two hunters in the Bridger Range near Sacajewea last Thursday. These are good reminders not to let your guard down during early season conditions.
