Yeah. Sad to hear. Didn't know avalanches were a huge problem in Aspen, but vibes to the family, and it's just another reminder how dangerous skiing really can be.

Just heard about this a few mins ago from roommates here in Snowmass. Fucked up. I didn't know her personally but god that sucks.

Reminds me of the incident at mammoth what seems like a decade ago but is really more like 6 years. Stay safe out there.

Just caught word of the news. Most positive vibes to her friends and family as she was just looking out for the community well being. Much to sad. Play safe out there homies
