Avalanchey December

by anniefast | Dec 29, 2008 |

This season went from no snow to daily poundings of snow in a few short weeks and the results have been both fun and fairly dangerous. Already nine people have died from avalanches including three people at operating ski resorts?Squaw, Snowbird, and Jackson Hole. Just a heads up, to keep your head up and be aware not just in the backcountry, but roaming the resorts, too.

Here are a few more articles to check out if you’re interested:
