event_narrativeThe Northwest Avalanche Center reported an avalanche occurred in Longs Pass when 4 backcountry skiers attempted to descend a south facing slope. Two of four skiers passed away from either injuries sustained from the avalanche or from being buried by avalanche debris. In their report, the Avalanche center suggested that the avalanche failed on a melt-freeze crust from a rain even that occurred earlier in the month.
