so I am at the canyons today. I knew avalanche danger was high and make a decision on the top of 9990 to stay inbounds (not a very tough choice). It was clearly posted that the danger was high and it has been all over the news. At a little after 11:00 it sure enough slid and someone died. My point is when the danger is high do yourself and your family a favor and stay inbounds.
It actually really pisses me off because I knew someone would get caught in one this weekend. And the canyons could have blocked the exit gates. With all of the tourists in town who have no idea that they are actually entering the backcountry when they go through those gates it seems to me that they should have at least posted someone to warn people that the danger was high this weekend. I do not know if the person had any experience or not in back country skiing.
