Replying to Avalanche took my pole

i was making some turns in the fresh pow down the top of three sisters in alpine on saturday when is started to slide.. it caused my skis to slip out from under me and it took me down with it... as i was sliding my face was burried, i lost a ski and a pole, and hit two trees... it stopped where the sisters flatten out.. i wasnt covered too bad but my friend coming behind me was completly burried the snow... i hiked up and got my ski but i never found my pole... so lame i loved those poles

that was the first time the snow movement was large enough to knock me over and carry me down... not much of an avalanche but it was one and it was scary

so if u skied sisters this weekend and noticed it was ice at the top and deep heavy pow at the bottom.. or u hit a pole... thats my doing
