2 close calls in Fernie
2 very close calls in Fernie on Saturday. One in Upper Cedar Bowl ( hiking above area boundary at own risk, and the other in Fish Bowl/ 2000' outside the boundary. Both skier triggered, the one above the area did not make it to the area's uppermost traverse luckily, size 2, lost equipment, no injury, horseshoes up the ass. The one in Fish Bowl, size 3, chest injury to the dude who luckily slammed tree (or hung on to one) just beyond trigger point, and then luckily managed to not sandbag anyone below him, as the avalanche ran full path.
I guess the fatality a week earlier to the snowmobiler at an adjacent mountain had no ripple effect in their shallow gene pool. C'mon people get with the program.
"if it's called tourist season, why can't we just shoot them?"
