Two skiers skied out of one of two backcountry avalanches in Summit County on Saturday.
The first avalanche hit at 10:22 a.m. on Mount Guyot, east of Breckenridge. Three skiers called to say they’d set off the slide and officials determined no one was hurt.
“They actually skied out of it,” Pitman said. “It probably started, and they managed to make it to the side.” “It’s worth noting that today isn’t considered a particularly hazardous day for avalanches,” Pittman said. “There are certainly points you have to be careful of. If the danger’s not high or extreme, it goes to show there are pockets out there people have to be very careful of. It can break loose. There was one just this week in Clear Creek County East side Loveland Pass.
“It’s a little unusual we have two like this that were triggered, and the people that triggered them called it in to dispatch. I can’t stress enough about how we like to see that happen,” he said.
