Way to be a solid mountain partner Phatty! At least we know it'll take more than a 60 footer to take out svs. Glad you're gonna be OK dude

Thanks for saving some leftovers for the sloppy seconders today. Beautiful day. Crowded as shit though. Some Darwin parking awards could’ve been given.

Glad to hear everything went as well as it could have... after the shit hit the fan. Sending well wishes on a speedy physical and mental recovery SVS.
I haven't taken my GoPro out much at all this year, but in honor of SVS who shares more than his fair share of GoPro stoke, heres the top of a couple laps from today:

Nice vid. Some of the best April conditions I can remember. I was going to head out the gate solo today but SVS’s incident gave me a much needed dose of reality.

I just spoke with NWAC to give my report on the incident. So many lessons learned on my part from it. I'm working on writing it up for here and NWAC will be posting their report fairly soon.
Here's one takeaway I have, though. The Mag (and non-Mag) community at Lot 4 is undefeated. I'm a periphery player. I've met most folks once or twice. Taken a run here and there, but I'm a weekend warrior who's usually with my family and don't really know many very well.
SVS is different. He's a king of stoke and a ringleader in the lot. His Gopro grunting is legendary. The number of folks that stuck around for us to make it down and that helped out was inspiring. The love for SVS was so great to see and very touching. You guys rock.
I spoke with his wife yesterday after he went to the doctor. He's supposed to have surgery on his shoulder today. Keep the vibes coming for him.

Despite the scary ending on Saturday, goddamn was that a stoke fueled couple of pow days.
Plenty of clean palletes to palate
Fun runs with these dudes.

He's getting scheduled for a priority MRI for his knee. Not sure on timing yet. His knee buckled pretty hard when he tried to take his first turn. He said he felt bone on bone. Past experiences lead me to think it's a torn ACL, but we can hope for a better diagnosis.
I'm around this week and happy to talk about it. Send me a PM.
I got up there late afternoon, but that was some of the best skiing of the year. Snow was awesome. I can only imagine how it would have been Thursday if they had been open. Mofro's pics nail the vibe perfectly.

+vibes for a quick but more importantly a full recovery. Will be a hell of a campfire story someday.
Kudos to those involved in the recovery/rescue.

saw the avie report, figured it was 261 and wondered if it was one of the crew. Glad SVS made it out of there and props to his partner. Heal up and vibes on a quick recovery. I've had a scary moment in the same area but nothing close to that.

Ok, I was digging around online and found a pic that seems to show pretty well where we were. It's found here with a write up: http://www.alpental.com/pineapple2.htm
This passage from their description basically sums up what happened with us.
"Then there's 261. Go left (but not too soon) for a few lines directly into Great Scott Bowl, but be warned that the fall line leads over a cliff."
We descended the higher of the two red lines below the bootpack (dotted red line). SVS got swept by the avalanche and went over the cliff into Great Scott Bowl while thefortrees and I followed the red line around the cliff band and then traversed under the cliff band to SVS. SVS said he turned left on the descent too early as he was planning to ski the lower red line which is 261 proper.
