The group of six skiers climbed to the top of Mt. Edgecumbe at around 3 p.m. on March 28. One of the skiers triggered an avalanche after skiing into the crater. The slide was around 300 feet across and 400 to 500 feet in length (Photo provided by the Coastal Alaska Avalanche Center)
A skier was rescued unharmed after being buried by an avalanche in the crater of Mount Edgecumbe on Sunday (3-28-21).
The man triggered the slide during his descent, according to a report to the Coastal Alaska Avalanche Center. Two other skiers in his group used avalanche transceivers to locate him. They saw his boot sticking out of the snow, dug him out and cleared his airway. The man was buried for between 5 and 8 minutes and sustained no injuries. All six members of the group exited the mountain safely.
