A solo skier was caught, but not buried or injured in this small slide. His gear was strewn in the debris. From his email: "I started to slide, fell forward, ski was ripped off of foot as well as poles from hands. I slid probably 30-50 feet before stopping on the flank. Pile kept going. Picked my self up and was able to poke around for poles and ski down slope." Photo: Anonymous
