    Would be nice to limit discussion to to analysis and learning and leave the hate for Vile resorts over on the General forum.

    Doubt there will be any public analysis until after the coroner's report is published and probably not much after that

    Never made it up to Whistler/BC. I gather the pic's in the reporting are not of the slide involved. Curious if it was hike to or lift access? Were the conditions of the snow atypical of the usual maritime snowpack? Was the line routinely skiied? Gradient? I was an agency travel nurse in SeaTac about a decade ago and skiied in WA but never got a good feel for assessing conditions on deep days.
