| episode_narrative | Significant snowfall and strong winds resulted in an unstable snowpack just prior to this deadly avalanche. |
| event_narrative | Five skiers entered the Prima Cornice area inside the Vail Ski Area boundary where unstable snow conditions were in place. Three of the skiers traversed a slope and were caught in a 200 foot-wide soft-slab avalanche which began at the 10,800 foot level and ran 400 vertical feet through a forested area on a 46 degree slope. Two skiers were partially buried and another tumbled outside of the debris field. One of the partially buried skiers died from injuries sustained in the avalanche. |
