The locals are usually in tune with the goings on in their area. Sad news.

Otherwise for all that are looking. We rode Renshaw saturday In the morning was by the cabin as you couldn't see to far, snow was about 6-8" fresh, more in the treed areas. Then headed into the anthills and wow! 1 1/2' to 2' of fresh untouched snow. Had a blast used a full tank of fuel, rode back to km 21. The trail was slushy all of the way down. Muddy in areas, Expecially at km 18. Almost down to the bone here on the trail, not sure if it will survive this weather much longer. Parked at Km 2, thanks Barry for directing traffic and the cabin staining looks great. Pics to be posted

Very sad to hear, condolences to family and friends.

As others have said know your area and ride to your AST1 training.
Dore is an out of the way area and you have to cross the base of 5 large runout areas to get there. These areas typically slide at least once per year and some are huge slides. Largest runout I have seen was 25-40' deep, 300yds across and 500yds long.
A few years back 4 big slides came down across the trail in one day while we were in Dore.
Lori at Zacs has some of the pictures.

It is spring time and some of those rain/ice layers may be starting to release with the snow pack's daily freeze thaw cycles as we cross the -2 to +2 danger zone. Eyes up to the chutes when crossing one at a time.
No details yet as to what hppened but ride alert/smart.
