General Observations

Witnessed a rider climb I steep south facing hill around 3pm Sunday. Triggered a decently large avy in a terrain trap. Watched the ride come down around the avy and ride up to see if his riding partner was caught. Thank goodness he wasn’t. Rider that set the avy off did not have a beacon prob or helmet… didn’t seem like he though it was a big deal. Don’t be like this guy.
