You come up from the Hwy and then travel the east side of the ridge .
You can see all the bowls .
Dangerous place in wrong conditions.

It’s not a place where you go when it’s socked in.
To the west of the riding area are sharp cliffs. To the east, just as bad.
It’s a steep and deep area.

Yes they did. Kakwa as well. Beaver ck is a trap zone. Bowl after bowl after bowl. Not good news this early. Condolences to the family’s involved.

Never like hearing about things like this but I'm also curious with sled sales at all time highs how many new people are going to be out on the mountains this winter. Most without any experience or training. Not saying this was the case in this event but more a general assumption.

I have the same fears...... hopefully not, and hopefully its a good stable snowpack year.
Condolences to all affected by this tragedy.
