From a phone call:
A rider saw a large avalanche in one of the bowls around the corner of Lionhead avalanched. It likely occurred on Friday, March 1. There were holes dug in the snow indicating a buried person or sled. This is the same slope that killed a 19 year old from MN on December 28, 2006. They conducted a beacon search on the debris to make sure no one was buried.

From a phone call:
A rider was traversing a slope when he triggered and was caught in a slide. He was partially buried under his sled and was uninjured. He estimated the slide to be 150 yards wide and a few feet deep and breaking to the ground.
On 02/29/2024: From the parking lot near Hebgin Lake, we were able to see several natural avalanches that happened on Lionhead Ridge. These avalanches all occurred in a similar timeframe to each other. While riding below Lionhead Ridge we observed another avalanche that likely happened a few days prior near 02/27/2024.
While riding below Lionhead Ridge we observed a wind slab avalanche that likely happened a few days ago. This avalanche looked to be 12" deep and broke 100' wide. Photo: GNFAC
