Sad, RIP.
A testament to the scary conditions.

Hope the guys up at Buff all return safe.

There was also an inbounds (though closed run) avalanche fatality at Vail on Sunday.

We get in-bounds slides every now and then too...

Our Pro Patrol does a very good job, but when there is snow on slopes, and you add a trigger(skier)to release it, it's gonna slide. (Gravity eh?!)

Don't be fooled by uphill transportation & presence of red-coats.
Somewhat infrequent, but it happens.
