RIP... My prayers to the families!!

Condolences to the families, I see Curtis's pic he has an av pack on, mustn't have been able to get it deployed, or it wasn't enough to keep him on top?

From hat I was told, He did not see it coming. I guess that it hit them from behind.

He was on his way down the hill, yes it hit him from behind.

Can I ask where on the Avalanche.Ca site you found this? I would like to read more about it.

Thanks for posting.

i can only assume they were coming down that gulley/river. from google earth it looks like the only access into that bowl

You can see a very big cut line running all across the top of that upper bowl!!!

look at the gulley you can see the snow was 20ft higher before it dispersed down to the bottom. scary stuff.

Hmmmm, have been there a lot and that does not look like either of the creeks going into Dore or the chutes on the way in. What are the GPS coords people are speaking of, would like to see area. Maybe left at the Y in road at 36????
