Replying to Avalanche Fatality at Alpental Today

There was a slide involving a few guys at Alpental today at around 12:30 PM. One guy was partially buried, one completely. One guy dug himself out, one looked for the one completely buried, and one went for ski patrol. I guess it was below the International Cliffs. They got him out in 40 minutes (long time for what seems to be a small slide), but he wasnt breathing. The started CPR and he was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. Very very sad and scary. A sad start for the PNW. RIP.
