thoughts out to the family of the killed.
And to the injured man and his family.

A big thank you to all who helped in the recovery and rescue.

I was in the states (alaska) a few years ago sledding and got caught in a small slide no one killed but one of the most horrific things to happen in my life.

Anyone who helps save the life of another human or tries to save a life is a

HERO!

Sounds like three SPOT 911 messages were sent within minutes of this avalanche (approx. 4:30pm MST). No helicopter was dispatched, and when the RCMP were asked about that, they said they do NOT automatically send S&R via helicopter when these 911 messages are sent. S&R was dispatched via ground routing. Apparently unless they are in contact with the parties involved and know the exact situation, help is coming on the ground, not the air. I have a SPOT and did not know this. I also have a sat phone so its good to know that I better use it and not assume help is coming quickly unless I do.
