Just saw this on CAIC: Storm Slab avalanche that caught and carried an ice climber, Rocky Mountain National Park 12/21/14. Hope everyone is OK.

Mo Flo Than Go is a really popular area.

I was there Saturday scouting, new to the area. Two climbers were running around above the main flow. I remember watching from the main trail switchbacks thinking it could slide..but nothing. They made it up around to the tree above Mixed Feelings to set a TR. Mixed Feelings had some questionable avi conditions at its base. Is there anything really up there to get on that snowfield above the main flow center of the picture?
