This is probably the best article I’ve seen on the recent avalanches (NY Times Avalanche Article). It’s both balanced and accurate which makes a change from the sensationalist and reactionary reporting I’ve seen elsewhere.
On a related note there was another fatal avalanche in Canmore which I think puts the total toll in Canada to 13/14 and 24/25 in North America as a whole.
I’m intrigued to find out what/when and where we’re going to do our AST 2 course this weekend. I can only imagine it’ll involve some nice mellow slopes away from any steep convexities. I’ll post about the course after the weekend. I’m really looking forward to getting out there and learning some more
