With at least 4 avy deaths and 2 killed in a rear end collision in the western US and Canada over this past Christmas weekend, we need to talk to many of our fellow sledders at the snowparks and trailheads. Just a minor little pep talk may say a life or two or stop an accident with serious injuries. Lets ride safely. I have personally had two very close co-riders killed due to avalanche in the past 5 years.. My deepest heart felt sympathy goes to those who have lost a loved one recently. check the daily avy and weather forecast....... riding safely
