000-0015 Malte Brun range Mt Cook NZ

My B-I-L after he'd been swept away in an avalanche on Sat 15th Sept'07. His email to me: We've just had 3 days at Mt Cook ....timeout and a bit of heliskiing. Got the window of weather on Saturday and away we went for a 5 run day in the Malte Brun range of Mt Cook Nat Park. Turned into a 5 More... turn day for me on our first run on the Monk Glacier under The Nun's Veil peak when the slab avalanche (2.5 on the scale) nailed me 20 metres from the crown of the slope. continued next picture.

What terrific documentation of a scare. I'm not a skier, and this does not change my sport. Thanks for sharing, and glad all ok.
