Sorry to hear. Here's hoping it works out in the end.

Looks like they figure just the two now. Everyone accounted for. Still scary stuff, hopefully the injuries are not too severe.

Lots of skiers/boarders getting in trouble going out of bounds this year. Strange season with so many skiers being in avalanches, hope this means the sledders have smartened up when the conditions are poor.

Am hearing from reliable sources there was two involved, one male, one female, both ok, although female with minor injuries and possible spinal injuries as well. Were heli'd out, everyone else ok and accounted for. Thank God!

Kinda scary.

A lot of these out of bounds skiers venture out to the fresh without the proper equipment. If someone who is alone up there, it could be a long time before they get found, if not discovered when the snow melts.
