avalanche safety
This footage was caught on January 25th, 2012 in the backcountry near Montezuma. It features Pro Snowboarder Meesh Hytner being caught in a sizeable (~class 3) avalanche and deploying her BCA Float 30 avalanche airbag before taking a long ride.
It may be early season but there is fun powder skiing to be had at Silverton Mountain. The snow is 30”- 40” deep with good coverage on the northern exposures of the mountain.
