Replying to Another avalanche accident..

A guide in fernie was buried today while checking a weather station..the slide (as i've heard) came from above. She was rescued by an avalanche dog...though her condition remains unknown to the public. She's a friend of mine, i know this much, but i don't even know who it is.

It's insane out there...size 4.0 naturals (that size will demolish your house as though it were made of matchsticks) are ripping out everywhere leaving 4m (12ft) crowns. 80% of the mountain was closed today. If you live in an area that's getting these storm cycles...be extremly careful..go beyond just playing it safe...these 4.0s in fernie are running well below tree line.
