[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that they were in the backcountry. Think rugged. Not at a resort where they shut it down when there’s a blizzard and don’t reopen until they’ve done avalanche control. It’s terribly sad. My heart goes out to their families and friends. [/quote] Correct, this was a 3 day trek across raw mountain slopes. I wonder if they even do avalanche control for non-resort areas? I mean they can't do every mountain.[/quote] Only because Big Ski doesn't want to spend their corporate profits making the mountains safe. [/quote] This is the dumbest comment ever. This avalanche happened in the backcountry, not on a resort property. Resorts do a ton of avalanche control, but can not do avalanche control in areas they have no jurisdiction over. For areas next to resorts there are gates with 100 warnings about the avalanche danger and people still take the risk. [/quote]
