Snowbike triggered avalanche at Lionhead

A snowbiker got too close to edge of the ridge on Lionhead and broke a cornice which triggered an avalanche about 100 feet wide. His sled fell with the cornice but the rider was able to jump to safety. This is the second cornice triggered avalanche that caught riders this week. Photo: GNFAC
