First sighting flights of the local rescue unit confirmed large avalanche declines and the sighting of mountaineering equipment and a half-buried person.

According to John Roskelley, the three mountaineers were on Route 16 at Howse Peak.

“It's one of those routes where you need the right conditions, otherwise the tour will be a nightmare. And so it happened in this case. "
