Text from avalanch bulletin (2002-05-02):
We had three people get caught in two avalanches yesterday. None of those involved had any avalanche equipment, Ie. beacon, probe or shovel. Up to 11 people were in the area at the time so I believe we were lucky more weren't caught. One slide ran 800 feet before settling midslope and the other ran about 600 feet stopping at the transition with the flats.

I pretty much carry avi gear any time I go to Tucks... Almost all my party had at least a transceiver on last weekend and we went over how to use them as well...

Be careful out there!!!!
