From the Spokesman- Sounds like Hard Creek Guard Station.

Some of the best snow on the mountain was in this area over the weekend. So with the fresh from last night and Monday the avy danger would be significant. Although the Payette Avalance Center had the day at 2 Moderate.

Avalanche kills two Colfax snowmobilers
The Spokesman- avalanche fatal snowmobile fatal

The bodies of two Colfax men have been recovered following an avalanche today near Brundage Ski Resort near McCall, Idaho. Five persons were caught in the snow slide, but three made it out without injuries, according to the Idaho County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff’s officials have not released the names of the two Colfax men pending notification of family. The avalanche occurred at 11:39 a.m. while the men were snowmobiling near Hard Creek Guard Station, which is north of Brundage.

No additional information was made available

RIP to those involved.

Avalanche danger is high and will stay high for the weekend. Anyone going out to enjoy the Pow should be prepared. With all this new snow their are bound to be natural and human caused avis. BE SAFE!

I just had the privilege of seeing the 208Productions Chris Burandt segment for this seasons film. It was sick. The things he was doing on that Assault were amazing. I dont think I could handle a smaller sled like that with that much HP. He looks like he was getting used to it just fine.

Phil, nice job my friend. Your gettin better and better on the filming and editing. Cant wait to see the final film this year.

Guys and Gals, I will save you the typing. Dont ask, gotta wait for the movie. Sorry.

Weather is nice and it's been consistantly warm...not even freezing up over night these past few days. Heavy mush and the suspect spots are starting to sluff in a lot of areas. It's touring season if you want to see places around McCall that you normally can't get to or are concerned about dropping into this is the time. Trails are still way above decent once you get a mile or two out from the lot at upper Brundage. It's all going fast unless we get some cooling and a more dumpage. It's starting to feel like the credits are rolling on this season! booooooooo

and as you'll see in Phil's flick the 2011 Pro is just flat awesome!
