So.....I just heard about the slide behind Big Mountain today.  Any details?  Hopefully everyone on here is ok, you guys should all check in so we know.  It sounds like the fate of everyone back there is pretty bleak at this point, but I'm really hoping they'll find some more alive.  RIP and +++vibes to those we lost, I guess all we can do at this point is take this as yet another reminder of what the mountains can do.

Ben (bigmtn4ever) posted in the avalanche class thread:

damn straight dave, shit went down today. basically the whole south facing slope of the canyon slide with like a 5-6 foot crown fracture, i helped dig the kid out that triggered it, dont kknow if he made it though, he was bleeding pretty bad-got airlifted. and another guy dug himself out and was frantic about his brother inlaw who was later found and didnt make it. i was down below helping look for two other skiers when the brother inlaw was found though. well shit goes down.... so wear your fucking beacon. those ppl would still be alive if they had been wearing beacons.

None of the NSers that I know were involved.  I still haven't heard what exactly is going on but I hope there were some survivors. RIP to the life lost, this is a sad reminder of what can happen out there.
