    I haven't seen it posted officially yet so I'll refrain from posting the name. It's a big loss, just tragic.

    Just to respond on the CAIC site issue. The site hasn't seen this much traffic EVER. CNN has the story. It is national already and went local incredibly fast.

    Terrible news today. Vibes to family and friends.

    The name has been released. Tony Seibert was the fatality. Looks as though Becca Sellig was with him. Not real sure about the other two.

    I was just about to ask if there was a connection to Pete Seibert. That may explain the media attention this is getting already.

    Yeah, had also heard she was one of the ones involved, she was the one my usual partner was worried about.

    +++ Vibes and prayers to all those that are affected, either directly or indirectly, from today's events.

    6 yrs ago I found this forum while searching for information about a friend that perished in EV chutes. Tragedies such as this will open old wounds....but will also give us a moment to remember the special ones that passed way too soon....doing the things that they loved. Hug your family and friends often.

    RIP and condolences. Glad your son is safe!
    It has been a troubling afternoon for sure, thanks. He would have been there if he didn't have to work. When I got the call I got that sick feeling knowing he was going up today and due to a sceduale change that I didn't know about was seriously conserned.

    RIP Tony

    That song brings me to tears every time I hear it. Brings back a lot of painful memories of friends no longer with us.

    Condolences to Tony's friends and family, it sounds like he was a well known and much beloved individual in Vail and the skiing community in general. RIP

    We went up to the top of Benchmark to enjoy the views and to have a look at the bigger lines. We saw a number of small slides on Marvin's likely triggered as the sun warmed that face. This confirmed our worries about the rapid warm-up making things touchy. As we prepared to drop back to the pumptrack down the ridge, the girl in the group got to the top and said to her group, "I still want to check out NBA." I don't recall any other things said, that just stuck out. We proceeded to ski bighorn down to the bus stop.

    This is what I heard after the fact.

    We heard of the slide when we got on the bus and saw a guy in that group get on the bus. We asked him how his run was and he mentioned a big slide on CDC. I asked if everyone got out, and he said they pulled his buddy out with no pulse and are doing cpr. He said he had no pulse and was purple.

    I told my boss about what happened, and he gave my partner and I's numbers to SAR. They called my partner about 15 minutes ago asking what we knew about how many people were in the group. He thinks it was 4 or 5 people. I remember the girl and 3 guys from the top, and there may have been another hiking up behind them that was with them. Word is, they don't know if they recovered all of the people caught.

    Vibes to everyone involved and friends and family.

    We met that guy and his partner halfway down tele trees just after it happened. We called 911 immediately having no idea if there was anyone in the slide. He was on the phone with a member of the group just after the slide and confirmed that there was a group caught in the slide. He also talked to someone that was on his way over from the ski area and was told to go down as we were too far away to be of any assistance. Thoughts to all involved in this tragedy.
