Three of my friends died last February at Stevens Pass. The New York Times put together this amazing article on it and everyone should read it.

Just got the article sent to me cut out of the paper. I would recommend everyone reading this. It's pretty powerful.

A bit off topic. Curious to know what made the NYT not mention anything more about the air bag system and how that may or may not have been the key point in why Elyse survived.

cause people will start to think that they can ski avi terrain with little regard for the conditions and the ABS will save them.

Wrong thinking.

Oh, I know, that is exactly the reason they did not go into much detail. But I thought they would have gone into maybe a bit more detail considering that it did save her life.
