Ya there was a guy 2-3 YEARS ago that had video of him in a avy at that very hill that vent viral, just about the worst hill to poke in that hole valley, and that hole mountain face past the lake has epic consequences if it goes, to where the ice is taken off the lake and pushed up the other side ( seen a pic of this year's ago) and have seen 2/3 of the lake gone over nite before also

I thought that would be a good pic, I had just watched the viral video of a sledder getting caught in a Avalanche on that slope and read a good post with a break down on that day on this forum. So that was you Oler1234? you burned all that gas in 4 hours from gassin it up that slope? Did you head up to the lake, holt or lang? Still to early yet?

correction: read the write up on Sleddermag.com regarding this viral video and slide on this slope. Good Read

oler234 might have burnt 4-5 liters of fuel on Saturday...hard to burn a tank of gas on the wrong end of a tow rope.

no no wasn’t out on sundays ride but heard it was good. The group never went into holts but Lang and beyond. The lake is still freezing and seen a couple open spots at the mouth of it.

snow is pretty good for this time of year I’d say. Drive in definitely sucks, it was about 9km of ice. I wouldn’t bring a 4 place trailer that’s for sure. Snow down low, well there is none.

Agreed. That hill only slides about 3 or 4 times a year.

Was at gorman last year 100yds away from that chute and it came down with 3 guys under it while i was telling someone else that it wasnt a good place to sit and have a beer

we rolled up last year right after it happened. Had these people read any sort of avalanche bulletin or had any common sense this would of been avoided. There was actually 2 people that got burried in this. Another was up on the shelf already

Watched the video...It sure puts a knot in guts the moment that crack in the snow open up. Good article for every back country enthusiast to read no matter what your level of experience
