    Fucking sucks. Good guys. The brewery was somber. TOE loses 2 council members, county loses 2 employees, wives lose husbands, girls lose Dad. Gut wrenching.

    San Juans - the Nose

    Condolences to family and friends. I’ve seen one gofundme site so far. I’m not sure if there are others.

    Wow, what a tragedy. Very much thinking about those close with these three.

    The biggest question in my mind is: was it a natural release and shitty timing or did they remotely trigger it from below as they were exiting?

    Fingers crossed for a successful recovery effort today before the incoming storm. Vibes to everyone who knew those guys.

    Condolences going out to all families and friends, so fucking sad.

    Trying to learn a little bit more about the slide I came across these photos, that’s a hell of a lot of snow that came down.

    Looks like about 7 skiers dropped in looking at the tracks

    Looks from the photo provided by CAIC that they skied down the face and then a right turn down into the creek/deposition zone where it must have slid on them from above.

    Tips up, Da heel and name redacted, so sorry to hear about your friends. Condolences to the families, to you, and your community there. Just so shitty, I can't imagine...

    Wow. Vibes to the friends and family of the lost.

    It's a somber reminder that overhead hazard is a serious thing.
    ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.

    This is so sad, one was an old friend. Thinking of all their families at this time.

    Time spent skiing cannot be deducted from one's life.

    At this point in time, nobody gives to shits about your question. In due time the CAIC will the full report. It may or may not detail whether is was a natural or skier triggered. Now is not the time to be a pedantic shitstick.

    With that attitude you must have spent every waking hour of the last year apoplectic with grief over the thousands dying from COVID every day then.

    Shit, I knew one of the victims through mutual friends, my deepest thoughts to the families and community.

    Glade, I am thinking there will be plenty of time for discussion on this. In my opinion that time isnt yet.

    Someone should make a tribute thread. This is in the slide zone for discussion, even if Glade’s too stupid to make his own educated guess instead of bleating on
