| episode_narrative | Two men, on foot, triggered and were caught in a small avalanche. The avalanche was 2 to 3 feet deep, 65 feet wide, and ran 140 feet vertically. One man was fully buried and the other partially buried. It took some time for the survivor to free himself, he then then had to dig through 5 feet of snow to reach his brother, who was unresponsive when found.||The accident, near Buffalo Pass, occurred on a north aspect below treeline as the two men, on foot, worked their way toward a lower elevation. The men had gotten stuck snowmobiling prior to the avalanche, and were trying to walk back to the Grizzly Creek campsite. The second survived two nights in the field and was recovered by friends, family, and rescue personnel on January 23rd. He was hospitalized and assessed for frostbite. |
