Employee killed in avalanche

Employee #1 and two coworkers were extending a bamboo rope line that closes off a gulch blowhole. Employee #1 made a decision to ski-cut the area. He skied along the starting zone, just below the top edge of the slope, for about 100 ft. He then stopped, kickturned, and skied the fall line to the bottom of the slope, making three short turns. As he was making his third turn and coming to a stop, the snow up the slope released. Employee #1 was at the bottom of the gully and was knocked down from behind by the avalanche. He was killed.
