As multiple teams headed down a ridge, one pair reached the start of their route and deployed 2 hand charges (2 lb) with minimal loose snow results. At a point where their route splits them up, patroller 1 continued down the ridge then stopped at a good vantage point to watch while patroller 2 negotiated a small start zone close to the ridge on his way to another shot placement. The pocket settled and then broke above him, catching patroller 2 and swiftly carrying him downhill through rocks and cliffs. Patroller 2 was able to immediately deploy his airbag and was visible to patroller 1 as well as another avalanche control team that was working near by. The incident was reported by radio to rescue dispatch and after a 750' ride, patroller 2 came to a rest on the surface of the snow facing uphill. Within minutes, multiple patrollers were on scene, including patroller 1. Patroller 2 had minor injuries and was extricated by rescue toboggan to the base area.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"row\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-4 text-md-right\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ELessons learned\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-8\" style=\"white-space:pre-line;\"\u003EPatroller 2 was very familiar with this terrain and though the 2 initial shots yielded minimal results, a false sense of security was felt; it was early season, there was a persistent weak layer, and travel in this terrain was relatively new since snow cover had been too sparse previously.
