none of the news says it but i think that although he was technically inbounds, he cut under the ropes which they had just roped off that run due to avalanche danger

no that was what they had originally stated when it first happened but later reports stated that it was infact roped off. I think they are still investigating it though. I talked to a ski patrol from abasin and he said that it was closed off but i'm not sure.

i talked to them as well....the run was open...the patrollers did there daily checks, and decided it could be opened....they even interviewed a skiier that went down the run 30 seconds or so before the slide was triggered...and the run was open
