Exclamation BC sad weekend.

Looks like 8 snowmobilers died in avalanches this weekend around Fernie BC. I knew this was going to happen with the record snow we are getting out west in such a short time. Please just take it easy for a bit and let the snow settle.

That's too bad. My prayers are with their families.

I lost a co-worker on Saturday Dec. 27th in a slide near Grand lake, CO. Conditions are tough right now, do your condition research and have your gear.

My thoughts and prayers to all that have a loss or know them. It's tough, but if you're going to pass, it might not be that bad if you go doing something you love.
