Rich Goodwin, (http://vimeo.com/user2790840), a man better known for putting together creative and fun video shredits, seems to have stumbled onto something much bigger than anyone could have imagined.

A video of an avalanche, posted recently ( VIDEO: Wall to Wall Pucker Face Avalanche! | Crazy Close Call Just Outside of Jackson Hole Boundaries) seems to provide an open and shut case regarding the primary trigger of the slide.

Rich, a second cousin of Frank and Joe Hardy, stumbled upon some new footage while researching his next documentary about the use of domesticated cats in drone test flights during the first Gulf War.

The new found footage is certainly shocking, and raises the next question: Is it only coincidence that Dick Cheney and Leon Panetta were sharing a Nutella covered waffle in Corbet’s Cabin at the exact same time as the Pucker Face incident? (In my professional journalisticness, it should be noted that this sighting has remained unverified.)

Cheney, Panetta, and the lucky snowboarder on Pucker were not available, nor asked for comment at the time of this article.
