Ocean11 0 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 On last night's local news, they said that 'maybe' 2 snowboarders had disappeared in an avalanche out of bounds at Happo. Has anybody heard any more about this? Link to post Share on other sites
snoflake 0 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Yup 2 boarders got out of avalance as it was only 10-15cm surface avalanche and gone downhill safely with their friends.. so no terrible outcome! phew!! 10-15cm surface avie of 10-15m wide, for 700-800m.... I wouldn't liked to be caught 600m below where it started though!! Link to post Share on other sites
jon snapper 0 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Was it on the North Face? The Gara Gara Zawa region area? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 I don't know where it was. The reporting was very sketchy and non-committal. But who cares? It was 'gerende-gai'... Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I saw what looked like the aftermath of a slide on that northface (I think) from 47 on Monday. What day did it happen? Link to post Share on other sites
