Heard this loud and sickening roar followed by frantic yelling. Thank goodness the person is OK. Gunner's Zone above Gunner's Bowl. The large avy basically deposited the person near the area boundary in the Canyons.

Preliminary Report: A skier was fully buried in an avalanche adjacent to the Mt. Baker Ski Area. The avalanche was triggered by a traveler from a different party. Mt. Baker Ski Patrol was on the scene immediately, located the victim quickly, dug them out, and cleared the airway. The individual survived and reported no injuries. The avalanche was about 1 ft deep and eventually broke up to 500 ft wide.
