ENSkier Buried in Colorado’s First Avalanche Accident of the Season, Dug Out by Partner in 5 Minutes
Colorado’s first avalanche accident of the season occurred over the weekend, high on the slopes of Mt. Bross (14,178 feet), the state’s 22nd-highest peak. According to a CAIC observation submitted by Ryan Buller, the windslab broke at about 14,100 feet in the east-facing Moose Creek Bowl, with debris reaching about 13,550 feet. Per the report and photos, the avalanche was R2 (relative size—small) and D2 (destructive size—medium). While the snowpack is not deep yet, much of the slab did step down to the ground. One skier was buried with their head beneath the snow; a ski partner performed a self-rescue, which took about five minutes, and the skiers self-evacuated.
The Colorado Avalanche Information Service begins regular forecasting November 1. As a result, the region had issued no avalanche warnings at the time of the accident. However, user-submitted reports are also an important component of the CAIC, and a smattering of reports has come in across the state in recent days. All of these slides were small in scope, and most were loose point releases related to the recent snow across Colorado’s highest elevations.

In fact, while Colorado has seen abundant moisture this autumn, the state’s snowpack does not yet reflect it because warm temperatures accompanied the early-season storms. The biggest story over the past few days has been flooding in southern locales like Pagosa Springs, caused by 4-8 inches of rain across the region. Unfortunately, the massive influx of moisture came with little cold air, and snow levels remained high throughout the state.
Mt. Bross is located in Colorado’s Mosquito Range, in the central part of the state, east of the continental divide. It’s near Breckenridge and part of the famous Decalibron cluster of high peaks, alongside Mount Democrat, Mount Cameron, and Mount Lincoln. Much of Colorado’s precipitation has fallen in the state’s southern tier. However, the central high country contains many of the state’s highest peaks, which still accumulate snow even when temperatures are warm.
The CAIC warns that people heading into the high country should avoid slopes steeper than 30 degrees where recent snow has drifted, and watch for cracking as a clear sign of slab formation. With the current thin snowpack, even a small avalanche can knock them off their feet and carry them into exposed rocks, downed logs, or over a cliff. “Remember: your safety in the mountains is your responsibility, but should things go sideways, we stand ready in all seasons and conditions,” Park County Search and Rescue said.
The incident reminds us never to get complacent in Colorado’s high country. Moose Creek Bowl is classic avalanche terrain, and its east aspect frequently loads with wind. While the snowpack hasn’t matured enough to develop deep faceted layers yet, recent storm and wind slabs have become an issue and will likely remain so through the weekend as another warm, wet storm pushes through the west. Fortunately, the skiers involved were carrying safety gear and knew how to use it, and the incident had a positive outcome.
