“Just getting word of a LARGE Remote Rider Triggered Slab Avalanche down inside of Black Canyon itself just off the Black Canyon Loop Trail in Island Park.
A 3-4ft thick slab broke loose and filled the bottom of the canyon with 12-15 FEET of debris, completely blocking off the canyon itself. Rider was NOT caught in it!! Had the rider been caught, there would have been ZERO chance of rescue under such a deep slide!”
