Condolences and prayers to the family and friends.
Condolences to family and friends......... Oler: I've been there and wouldn't want to trade you for anything. Friggin' avy's..........my daughter is out in elkford without me for the first time in her life........... Has me worried sick. Jus sayin ............
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.
