    Marvin's (Vail Backcountry) Fatality

    Not much info yet, 1 death. I'm not sure if identification has been released yet, but vibes to those who knew the deceased.

    If my count is right this is the 10th death in the US from Avalanches in the past 5 days (1 UT, 1 CA, 1 NH, 3 AK, 3CO + this one). Stay safe everyone.

    "Skier 2 began her descent. She had skied about 300 vertical feet down to a narrow opening through a cliff band when she triggered a large avalanche that broke above her. She tried to escape to the trees on the skier’s right side. She managed to stay upright and came to a stop on the apron below the cliff band buried to her knees in avalanche debris."

    Lucky escape too. RIP and Vibes to the family.
