Was in allen today and its pretty tracked and set up but we had a good fun day. When we got down to the parking lot a Rcmp office drove over to us and asked if we knew where the avi was or about a guy with a broken leg. He didn't know much and was looking for info. Ambulance was at Clemina when we went buy. I have no first hand knowledge of anything though.

Anyone know any specifics?

This is only second hand info so this is what I have heard. Avy in clamina today , one person with a broken leg and one person died. Our prayers go out to the family's and fellow sledders that are touched by this tragic event . I believe my info is true as i was told by a guest staying here who received a text from his buddies that where staying else where had helped dig out after the avalanche but where to late.
Ride safe , don't take chances and stick to the trees for awhile.

Very sad to witness, thoughts and prayers to the victims family, friends, as well as everyone involved in the recovery.
