Here we go- And fun deciphering images- Loveland 10/29
Since there usn't really any info I'm trying to recreate from the tracks, and i can't. One person caught in slide. There is only one track entering the slope. The ski track down appears to be pre slide. The track coming out of the slide looks like sidestepping down the hill maybe to retrieve a ski?

Those sympathetic slides just go to show how dangerous conditions were. Whoever this was couldn't have paid attention to the forecast or done any onsite testing.

Here's a second report of this incident that helps clarify what happened:
https://avalanche.state.co.us/caic/o...p?obs_id=67123
There were two skiers. First skier made the tracks that traverse out to looker's right. The second skier triggered avy, probably soon after the second turn, then rode avy down to where the track exits the debris, then sidesteps down.

If God wants you, you can't hide. If not you almost can't be too stupid. Almost.

I wondered about the same thing. Maybe they both used the same entry route? Also, if you look at the magnified version of that third pic, you can see a faint ski-track-like mark to the left of obvious ski track -- but maybe the person who booted out to the edge knocked some snow down and caused that mark.
