i know some of you want to know what went on up there last friday. i will try to answer questions as best i can so long as they do not get too personal as to both zach and the less appropriate details of the recovery. i do have important information to share, some of it i have posted in the safety meeting thread.
i will have to go back to work in an hour and may be late getting back to the board but i will try to help those understand atleast what i know of the incident.

Totally with you on this one, APD. You're a good man. I know it's hard to accept consolation, but remember - your intentions were always the best.

Don't do anything for our benefit, brother. Let it ride for as long as you need...we're not going anywhere and I think everyone around here is extra careful due to the circumstances. Take your time and talk when you're really ready and comfortable. Love, support and positivity...

I can only imagine the adrenaline-inspired mindfuck, it had to be intense beyond words.
Words seem pretty worthless right now.

Further info for those interested:
Just saw some vid footage of the slide path, debris, etc. Pretty much a nightmare slide path with lots and lots of variables like trees, undulations and what looked like two fall lines (gullies) disected by a tree stand. Looked like a 1 or 2 foot crown with unbelievable sheer quality. Also a very long debris field that could have been very disorienting due to undulations in the terrain and said trees. Appeared that the victim was actually located relatively high, against a tree stand and before the pronounced debris field. However this was taken from vid footage so it was hard to make out.
From what I could gather, the rescue scenario was unlike anything anyone imagines, even in backcountry rescue practice scenarios...many more features and variables than one might expect."All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."

Cellie PM'ed. Although we've never met please feel free to use it at any time and for any reason. When you're ready to talk... talk. Here, on the phone, to your folks, to a priest/councillor, to me, to mags in a bar (not wise, IMHO, but comfort for some.)
Let it out, don't internalize it, otherwise you'll go crazy.

APD, peace be with you mang.
Take your time, and know our thoughts and prayers are with you and Zachs family."But I don't want to go among mad people," said Alice. "Oh, you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here."
