Replying to RIP - Doug Coombs killed in Avalanche today

I am making a new thread because the first post of the other one seemed to be confusing people.

Doug Coombs, one of the most prolific ski mountaineers ever, was sadly killed today in an avalanche around La Grave.

This is just another hit to a community that has expirenced way too much tragedy this season.

My hopes and prays are for his family. ++++++++ Vibes to his wife Emily and baby son David. I can't even imagine what they are going thru.

I can't even believe how empty/hurt this is making me. I've never even met Coombs.

Everyone - stay safe and don't take life for granted. Doug was one of the most knowledgeable BC users in the world. He knew as much as anyone on travelling safely in the BC and dealing with avalanche hazard.

RIP Doug Coombs
