Lionhead Avalanche

Lionhead Avalanche

This avalanche was triggered  on Sunday (Feb 17) as four riders traversed the slope.  All four were caught, two deployed air bags and no one was injured.  This area is in the back bowls of Lionhead and the sledders were on a quest  for untracked powder. North aspect, >40 degrees steep, 200' wide, 300' vert, 3-4 feet deep. Photo: Tim Campbell
