I thought it was a two different parties but info is not reliable. Maybe one group set off the slide on the others. Maybe not. Maybe it was one group. Maybe not.

I really hope that wasn't the case. Wow. Tragic no matter what.

I saw somewhere that they all knew each other. I've split big groups into smaller groups to manage terrain before. I've also skied in big groups before, not going to play holier than thou here. Will be interesting to hear how group size affected decision making leading up to this.

Interesting observation looking at the terrain in the WBSkiing app vs Caltopo.

The Wilson Peak name hides the majority of the orange shading that indicates the slope is >30° on the WBSkiing map app whereas CalTopo shows the upper 450 feet being >30°.
