To many quotes to answer. The Sarwood boys did it right. They were not high marking. They were not in the bowl. They went up on a old skidder trail to the edge of the trees where the ridge overlooks the bowl. This is the spot where everyone sits out of the danger zone. No one recalls this area sliding once never mind 3-4 times. Even one rescue tech said that he could not believe that this area slid. This was a freek thing that nobody would have anticipated. They thought the area was safe to search for their friend. We didn't think there was enough snow to be dangerous. These boys didn't want to risk the roads to go to Golden, do you think they wanted to risk there lives anywhere else?
I didn't say being prepared isn't right, but when everything is stacked up against you, nothing will save you. Remember you won't get in a car crash if you don't get in a car too! PLease live as safe as you can, but still live. Thats what these boys did. Thanks for all the kind thoughts and wishes.
