• A group of backcountry skiers triggered an avalanche near Vail Pass on Saturday, according to a report from the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC).
• The slide was reportedly triggered by a group of four skiers, and occurred near Uneva Peak.
• “Skier 2 was caught, but skied out. Skier 1 was standing in the runout taking photos and was able to move before the debris reached him. Skiers 3 & 4 descended an adjacent slope after the slide,” the CAIC report reads.
