Really? I don't mean to be disrespectful,

You could land 100 choppers in that bowl safely. or is this a coroners thing...

It sounds a little strange, thats all...

Rescue teams will not be going to recover the body until avy conditions get better.

Landing a chopper in the bottom of the bowl and getting to where the sledder is buried half way up the hill is totally different and could be exposed to any number of overhead hazards still in place. if there was any chance of them gettin up there they would be there already.

i know the area well. they can accesss it very easily. but my guess is they are concerned with the much larger hill to the right of the location. as i would be. espeecially now that it has become more unstable
