Listen "In Depth Alaska: Backcountry snowboarder talks about avalanche rescue"
Episode Synopsis
On Friday, January 31st, a group skiers were in the backcountry near Turnagain Pass. A skier went about 200 feet down east groundhog peak when the movement triggered an avalanche. The skier got caught up in an avalanche and was carried about 1,200 feet downhill. Rafael Pease was part of that same group and participated in the rescue. Digital Content Manager Joey Klecka sat down with Rafael to talk about what happened that day and why Pease says the rescue could have happened hours earlier. Pease's statements and opinions are his own and do not represent Alaska's News Source. We are seeking a response from the agencies involved. Please check Alaska's News Source.com for those details.
