not good news to hear! wether skiing or sledding both groups need to be aware of the dangers out there and realis that it just isnt worth it to push it or try and get that wicked line with the wicked snow. play safe and and live to ride another day

CBC's website says all 5 were buried but two self rescued and dug others out-i dead on scene, 1 unresponsive doesn't look good.

It was a heli skier they said on CBC and they quoted the RCMP so that may be.

CTV news in Calgary just reported that the second skier that was in critical condition has succumbed to there injuries and died as well. Very sad for the heli skiing community and another family.

RIP. The life of a ski guide is a tough one. Imagine how he / she feels about the fact that their terrain assessment caused the death of 2 clients. That is the reason I got out of the biz. Ski guides are tip toeing around the mountains right now.

Condolences to everyone involved.
