Dutch Draw Avalanche; The real story

Good reporting, Red.

Good story. Interesting about them going into the backcountry primarily because they saw so many others doing it. I'm sure many people make that mistake.

Good to hear the real story. RIP

Thanks for putting that up 2Planker

What you have done, RB, is point out that these things happen for a reason (often a lack of proper reasoning) and that adhering to certain guidelines and behavior can mitigate risk, while other actions, or lack thereof, can make things worse. It's important that message get out, so people realize there is a formula for prevention and survival and no necessity to fence off the big bad mountains.

From one end of the equation to the other, APD.

Thanks for your ongoing efforts with this story RB. Now how about asking the Sheriff some tough questions about his BC ignorance --> doofus.

And thanks to twoplanker for putting the story up for the rest of us.

Good story.

Good job RB. Thanks.
Thanks to 2P for the ghetto-TIVO :biggrin:

Is there such thing as a "Letter to the Producer?" If so, we should maybe write some stuff. Not from Cleveland, of course... that's a little suspicious...

Thanks twoplanker-Redbaron. Good to here it first hand.

That was a well done report, hope that's the last one of it's kind we have to hear this year.

nice report last night - it was good to hear the first hand from that guy.

Sweet report. Definitely some interesting decision making on that day, hard to live with if you make it out and others don't.

Good work RB!
