    With 2 hits of beacons from a heli in the avy debris... I can't see this ending well.

    Steve Romeo has been such an inspiration. A down-to-earth great guy and also one to value life and encourage safe sport.

    Please don't say...



    Come back, we miss you already.

    Search teams recovered two bodies from the Ranger Peak avalanche debris, parks spokeswoman Jenny Anzelmo-Sarles said.



    “Until the coroner arrives we cannot definitively confirm the identities” of who was recovered from the slide, Anzelmo-Sarles said.

    Unbelievable news. This is absolutely horrible.
    Avalanche Safety. Technical information, news, research, and opinion on avalanches, snow safety, and winter backcountry travel.

    You can see the info that the avi center has published here if you click on the yellow symbol up to the NW of Jackson Lake, with two photos the rangers took. BT avi folks have not had a great history of investigating backcountry slides like you would see out of the Gallatin, Utah, CO or other areas.
    The blues has always been about taking your problems and turning them into something you can dance to, drink to and fuck to.
    We're certainly not a blues band in any kind of purest sense, but to me Rock and Roll has always had it's roots in that tradition.

    You can do everything right and still be at risk. Very sorry for your community's loss.

    So weird to be following someone online for a bit, almost getting to know them, then reading about their death - that whole global village effect - tight community etc.

    Saddened by the losses.

    RIP Rando Steve and Chris.

    funneh that the incidents involving the very popular/experienced don't get talked about here much. yet those that get killed and have little to no experience get scorned and ridiculed. should be the other way around don't ya think?

    my guess is that: a) there is really no info published with any snowpack analysis or investigation to discuss, as Hutash inquired about above; and
    b) with their services being held today and tomorrow, folks might just be trying to be considerate...
