This is second hand from a reliable source in the Philipsburg ski/snowmobile community. Backcountry skiers on a north aspect near the Powell mine, North Flint Range, were digging a snow pit when the slope avalanched with the crown through their snow pit. Slab avalanche was estimated at 16 inches and slope was wind loaded. Avalanche ran 6-800 feet. Skiers stayed in the snow pit and no one was caught.
