Loveland Snowboarder Triggers Massive Avalanche

Even the most experienced riders aren't immune to unstable snowpack. Maurice Kervin learned this firsthand last Friday while snowboarding on Loveland Pass, his 65th day of riding this season.  Kervin and his ski partners had been keeping a close eye on the avalanche forecast all week. Although the danger had actually dropped, Kervin recalls feeling unsure of the conditions. Intending to ski a line called 'No Name,' the pair set out, and tested snow stability along the way, not finding any red flags. They dropped into the line, and about a third of the way down, Kervin felt the snow collapse beneath him. He deployed his airbag and was able to keep himself on the surface of the snow. Kervin walked away from the slide uninjured except a dislocated finger and was able to get back out and ride the next day. You can read Kervin's full account here

Layers of stronger snow over a layer of weaker, faceted snow contribute largely to this area’s persistent slab problem as can be observed in the video.  - https://manchestersemitruckrepair.com
