A backcountry skier was saved in a harrowing rescue Monday after getting trapped under several feet of snow because of an avalanche south of Silverton in San Juan County, the Silverton Standard & the Miner reported. Two skiers from Durango were in the Deer Creek area on Coal Bank Pass. As they were leaving the creek to return to the road, they realized they were in the wrong spot and tried to make it down a slope to U.S. 550.


Scary shite. This guy is lucky his friend was quick to act, had the proper BC tools, and is clearly trained in full burial beacon search and rescue. He saved his buddy's life. The Avalung definitely helps, but only for a little longer. Glad to hear it was a rescue and not a recovery. Usually doesn't end so happy.
