If anyone in Revy has a chance to scan the parking lot for me have a peek for the truck in the quote below. The enclosed trailer is a mirage, the truck you cant miss.

I think everyone in the sport is truly sadened by this horrific incident. The size of this Avy and the injuries and casualties that have came through so far. with the sheer numbers that were at this, sounds to me that everyone came through in a big way and must have reacted well. Maybe instead of blaming everyone for this event, they should be praising everyone for there efforts and reaction to this incident.....
For anyone who knows anything about Boulder.... There is usually 20 to 50 guys a day on the weekend that play on or around this area. Even if this event was cancelled, there still would have been individuals riding Turbo that day, with people below watching. Cancelling the event would not have prevented this from happening.....

I do not agree with what the media is doing in any way, however, I feel all volunteer S&R people, as well as the RCMP should be thanked for their efforts.
Too often we bash RCMP for not paying attention to stolen equipment and vadalism. However, when a disaster like this happens they are all there or on standby. For all those involved, it's not easy seeing things like this first hand, even after the fact when the visions and news continue to poke people's feelings for such events.
Good on you.

Words can not describe how horrible all this is. Thoughts and prayers for everyone involved, and thanks to RCMP and S&R.

Re: Big Iron Slide @ Turbo March 13,2010
Please everyone, this threads about the Revy Avalanche and not the media, Yes there looking for info, but if every one is fighting them off and calling them names what do they think of us?
Im heading out for a bit and hope things improve,
I would like to say a BIG THANKS to Revelstoke Search and Rescue volunteers for all the help they are giving us in this, this is a large operation that no one really realizes how big it is. And what they have to do to make sure everyone is accounted for. And Im sure Powderpuff and Angie are going nuts today. Also I would like to thank the RCMP for the great media reports they are giving us. And the media is doing a fine job with what they have at this time, this is Big in the news right now.

I refrained from posting anything, until I heard that every one of my friends and aquaintances were off the hill and safe. Rebec has an injured leg, and both sleds still on the hill, but he is otherwise okay. RIP to the fallen, and many thanks to the S&R teams out there for doing what they do.apparantly Troy is safe

I don't snowmobile but have family and friends that do and I am certain that a few of you know them. As a result I know how well knit the snowmobiling community is. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families and friends.

Come you guy's let's stop bashing each other, yes we are a close knit group so use common sense when answering questions from newbies. A lot of people are fishing for info right now. Listened to news reporters asking why the sledders were in that area even thou there were warnings posted that day....DA that's what we do, but with CAUTION. We are always aware of what could happen and accept it, we come prepared if god forbid something happens. It's the same if you went to Disney Land......on a known fault line and an earthquake happened....wonder if they would be prepared for the after math as well as we are. When we go into the mountains we take the courses ,buy the survival gear the beacons,the probes, everyone I know takes this to heart.....LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND.
