OOH, That is the bowl in Hope.
I have 4 friends that went there today.

They have advanced avy training, so I hope it wasn't them.

I know they take the lower path to avoid the BIG avy path..

The mountain in the article seems to be the one south of the main bowl on the south east section of the riding area. Bad terrain trap to cross. Fingers crossed.

Just heard back from my friends, they are all ok.
They saw a few sledders in that valley, and didn't stick around, just because of the terrain trap. Sounds like the casualties were sitting at the bottom while watching the climbers. (from what they saw)
They were stopped by the police @ donald and questioned. They were unaware.

BIG RELIEF! but my condolences go out to all that know them.

So i am not sure what to say to this but i was one of the guys helping to dig the four out. The one i dug out survived. The other 3 did not as they were burried in over 1meter of snow. We did manage to get evyone recovered if you will. I cannot image the pain the one kid now has as one was a family member that passed. Myself i was out with my mom and da that day and it sends chills down my spin to think we left 10min before this thing let go. I would call it a class 3 or 4avy. 1meter deep and 500meters across. I got to say that i will really be rethinkin my appoarch of mountain sledding after this incident and my tools for recovery. Personally the image of those 3 guys and this event will be around for a while.Shovelling is the biggest thing here and u have no idea until you have done it.

For the guy who has made it, my condolences to you and your family. And if you need someone to ring up about this, feel free to give me a call.

Ps the bowl was the one where you travel to the east once through the trees. Then turn south. Up and over and down to the bottom. The north face from the bottom let go.

My condolences go out to the families and friends of the 3 people that perished in this avalanche. And I wish a speedy full recovery for the other sledder involved. And koodo's to the other group of sledders that came to the rescue, not everyone can be rescued all the time but your courage and bravery has made a difference in someones life.
