That's what the students of an avalanche i was helping to teach this weekend said when they saw this slide happen right in front of them.
This winter i'm helping to teach several avalanche classes through Aspen Alpine Guides ( www.aspenalpine.com ) and 10th Mountain Huts ( www.huts.org ).
On friday night Scott Messina, owner of Aspen Alpine Guides, said....let's take the class to an avalanche path near the hut because i bet we'll see a slide or can get one going. Well, as soon as we got to the slide path, on saturday morning, one was set off. The class was amazed, they thought Scott had thrown some swith.
Stuff like that happening make these classe great for the students.
In the picture you can see the crown of the slide and it ran about 200ft. The other picture is of the class on our way out of the hut on sunday.

Cool. It's gotta be great to have the real deal out there to check out for classes.
