Hard to tell if the avalanche was triggered by the road crew or slid naturally.  If they knew that was coming, you would think the camera wouldn’t swing up last second, making me think it was natural. On the other hand the road was clearly blocked for what I assume was avalanche danger/mitigation, so explosives could have been the culprit. Anyway, stay safe on the road out there ladies and gents….drive for the conditions, don’t be a hero, give road crews respect, and help each other out as much as possible. If you are in a SUV with 5 dudes coming home from the hill all duded up in your winter gear and you see a mom off the road, you better all jump out of that car and get her back on the road lickidy split.  Faith in humanity restored for everyone involved/good story to tell the ladies later like it ain’t no thang. All in a days work of a mountain people. Screen shot 2016-01-21 at 10.47.22 AM
