Looking downhill past where the victim was partially buried against a tree. A group of four skiers were caught, and two were partially buried (1 injured, 1 killed) on 1/25/19. The other partially buried skier was 200' lower. They were all ascending and near the top of the path when the avalanche broke. The top two skiers held onto trees as the avalanche pushed by them.
