My son and his devo team were very close to an avalanche today on the top of sundown bowl, it fell out to the out of bounds area rather than into the bowl. He said it sounded like a bomb when I hit bottom... Sketchy conditions all over.... Why risk it, this was on a 50 degree slope

This sucks. It is just not the year to be playing in terrain like this. Hair trigger with large results is the best way to describe it. Keep it dialed back folks. It's looking like we'll have to wait until late spring in the Intermountain regions before it's sane enough to attempt the big trophy lines.

RIP Alecs.
