Jesus.......Vibes to the families. Can everyone stay resort side till spring? Awful.
What we have here is an intelligence failure. You may be familiar with staring directly at that when shaving. .

I thought it was a two different parties but info is not reliable. Maybe one group set off the slide on the others. Maybe not. Maybe it was one group. Maybe not.

I saw somewhere that they all knew each other. I've split big groups into smaller groups to manage terrain before. I've also skied in big groups before, not going to play holier than thou here. Will be interesting to hear how group size affected decision making leading up to this.

If you need to look at one of those ridiculous terrain maps to know that wilson glades is capable of sliding you shouldn't be out on even moderate days.

The skier-triggered avalanche swept up eight people in their early twenties to late thirties who were in two groups touring the backcountry, Unified Police Sgt. Melody Cutler said. All eight were swept up in the avalanche.Drew Hardesty with the Utah Avalanche Center said the victims were experienced skiers who were well known in the community, calling their deaths a terrible tragedy.powdork.com - new and improved, with 20% more dork.

I hadn't heard about the incident near Moab that was mentioned in the article. Snowy torrents link for that accident here for anyone who might be curious. https://www.snowytorrents.com/1990s/1992-2/92-5/

I have never toured in this drainage before. When I heard Wilson Glade I had to look it up. It looked very benign on the WBSkiing map so I decided to cross reference. Benign was not the case.
This article says it was two separate parties. One of five, one of three.
