Judging from buddy's total lack of boot penetration where he is standing, one is inclined to infer that it was more of a bounce or splat scenario than a crater one. Sleds caught the non compressed edges of a logging road or cat path or something of that persuasion while the riders were flung off into hard pack???

haha this is great, hearing your theories is as good as the true story!
We were up on a ledge trying to find the weakness through cliffs down to the lake below. I find a ramp that goes, sweet. I look back at Sam (pictured) give him a big thumbs up and begin descending... I begin to see (the light was pretty flat that day) that it rolls over more than I had thought, not a big deal, I slow down a bit. As I get closer it looks like I might be going over a bit of a wind drift, no big deal just a foot or two I think so I go to slow down some more. Except that at this point I can no longer stop, I am beyond the point of no return... which is when I realize that this little roll is actually a 15 foot cliff to flat! I jump of my sled just in time to send it into the flat light abyss. Meanwhile Sam(pictured) is not far behind, having dropped in behind me after my stoked "Thumbs up man!" He tries stopping his sled but ultimately has to also bail and send his sled into the unkown (flat light and all).
Somehow both sleds were completely undamaged once we popped Sam's hood back into place. A scary moment that ended up being really funny once we were sure we could make it home without doubling out! (we were a group of 4 that day) Here is a shot from above.

And this winter keeps on giving! Headed into Wates-Gibson hut (Tonquin Valley, Jasper) for 7 nights 8 days with snow in the forecast followed by what looks to be clearing weather later in the week.

Interesting huge BTL deep pwl avy east end of Bear Pass/Stewart...pics
Report from Bear Pass/Mez Lake north area from about a week agoish? In addition to the recent deluge of widespread point release/loose snow surface wet slides noted in Bear Pass, deeper weak layers have become reactive north and immediately west of Meziadin Lake.
Report from the field indicated a remotely triggered large slab avalanche down 70-75cms on well preserved April 3 surface hoar. Avalanche triggered from ridgetop in alpine on what appeared to be north quadrant terrain...suspect NE.
Observed from roadside at Surprise Creek pullout just east of Bear Pass was a surprisingly large personally estimated size 3.5 deep slab avalanche that occurred naturally on a NE facing open glade well below treeline.
Elevation of start zone is 720+/- meters. Crown looked very deep from roadside with both some gouging down to ground and a secondary crown a bit lower looker's right on the slope.
Suspect the mid Dec or a Jan PWL as the failed weak layer. The avalanche crown was google earth measured at approx 250 meters wide.
The avalanche spilled into two separate confined tracks with the lowest elevation lobe reaching to valley bottom and travelling a bit of distance over very low angle/flat terrain. Total length of both lobes individual tracks/runouts was over 1 km respectively with a vertical drop of about 450 meters.
Personal ski touring program in the pass put on hold a week ago due to rising temps and remains on hold with the continuing phenomenon of the world crashing down.
Photos show crowns in red and two separate confined tracks in blue in first photo. Red arrow showing track/gully; runout zone of avy outlined in red in second photo.

Guido, maybe it's my colour blindness.... but I cannot read the font you're using. Please change.

COLOR=#f0f8ff][FONT=Helvetica]
So I get this when i quote your post. I don't get this when I quote someone elses (the colour and font shit).
Your font sucks on both my computer (basically illegible) and cell phone (moderately to highly irritating).“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”
