No news story found yet. My spies told me. Under chair 5. Buds got there after the fact and found a probe line going down the area.

Probe line was cautionary. Buddy turned up elsewhere and no one else reported missing.

Probe line was cautionary. Buddy turned up elsewhere and no one else reported missing. Heh, Oh, it was that kind of slide. We even have one of those occasionally at Killington. The main dif is that it usually involves man-made. The scenario is a very steep section of trail (over 40 degrees), ice or set-up "frozen granular" and leaving the snow gun on all night. The next morning all of the snow you were hoping would cover the ice is at the bottom of the slope. Sorta like my standing seam metal roof. Have yet to see more than 3" on it at any one time and that's only a 50% (26 degree) slope.
