So who was in the avalanche this weekend?
From the video it sounded like guys playing in or below the airport chutes and someone above triggered it?
Looked like all brand new turbo doos.
Did you send a report to avy Canada? Still don't see one. Did you know the spooky conditions before...
The season has started. Cold and wet in the valley means white stuff up high.

Then he proceeded to try and climb up a...
If anyone is around the Invermere area this weekend the BRP snow cross guys are testing the 2010 sleds all weekend.
We built a track for them and they started tearing it up today.
Pretty cool to have Olympic skiers training beside Factory sled dudes.
