Event narrative (NOAA)

A 300 yard avalanche which was 6 to 7 feet caused the death of a man at Pebble Creek Ski Resort on March 15th. He was skiing at an out-of-bounds run near the north boundary of the ski area when he was trapped under snow without a beacon to aid ski patrol. The avalanche was believed to be caused by heavy, wet snow at high elevations of the ski resort.
