On the way back to spirit, right after the 10ft drop and then down to the right and around to the left and back up... Can be a real chit show trying to get back up... Never thought that would drop

I spent the morning talking with friends on SAR that helped with this. I was supposed to meet with them and ride. Very sad and tragic.

Bad times for us all, my stomach is turning with just the thought of this, bringing tears to my eyes. Hopefully all involved in any way can overcome this and be a stronger person in the end. I like to think of myself as an informed rider but this drives the point right through my heart. Makes me wonder if I am being selfish exposing myself to this kind of stuff while my family is at home waiting for my return. Definetly brings out emotions. For those that know people involved I can only say I am sorry and am here in any way that you may need

I am so heart broken for all involved. Tomorrow we bury a fellow sledder who passed in an avalanche in Prince George last weekend. I don't know that I personally know any that are involved in this Avalanche but we have lost 5 of our own . This is tragic news to our whole sledding community. Condolences and prayers for all involved. Thank you to SARS for all you do for all our sledding community . RIP fellow sledders
