While the person caught in the avalanche was a snowshoer, this death could been easily been avoided by doing the obvious thing. Leaving a existing Trail.
Even in the preliminary report the group supposedly expressed concern but continued on into slide areas.
Just a friendly PSA to remind people that just cause there is a skin track dosen't mean its safe.
