SALT LAKE CITY â Snowmobilers remotely triggered a massive avalanche in the Moffit Basin area of the Uintas on Saturday. The slide was caught on camera by one of the riders and shared on social media showing how it partially buried four riders.
âThis avalanche looks like a freight train like a locomotive barreling down the mountain,â said Utah Avalanche Center Forecaster Craig Gordon, reacting to the video of the slide. âI think itâs a surreal moment where the riders themselves are trying to wrap their brains around the power of this thing.â
