It was in the Chatter Creek ski area. Many airlifted to hospital.
Not good for the SPAW warning to be sent out and then this....
Hope everyone is ok.
"Dear Friends, Family and Guests,
We have become aware, through some channels, of avalanches in the Golden area. Instantly, our hearts, minds and thoughts are for all those involved, from those exploring the wilderness, to those involved in search and rescue.
We want to assure everyone who has loved ones associated with Chatter Creek that, despite some reports, the incidents did not occur at our operation, nor in our tenure. Everyone is home safely this evening.
For those in the media reporting the location of incidents, we suggest - for accuracy, prevention and general awareness purposes - the phrase "Quartz Creek" provides more accurate information for yesterday's incident.
Obviously, we remain on standby to do whatever we can to help. We thank the Golden-area mountain professionals - guides, search and rescue, medical, RCMP - who are assisting and those involved, and their families.
From all of us at Chatter Creek
So where was this and was it today? Skiers? Sledders? etc.. ?
Did anyone else who uses the app on i pad or samsung phone get the special warning? I can see it on the desktop version of the avalanche.ca site but not in the app? Thats a full cat load minus guide or tail guide. Dang
Just read this message from the folks at chatter.
That sounds more realistic.

The SPAW does not come up on the app but does come up on the website.
We all need to take screen shots on our mobile devices showing avalanche Canada that the SPAW is not showing up and email it to them. The more of us "general" public that raise awareness to this the more likely it is to get bumped up on their priority list. Zacs Avy Crew does not have any control over this issue however they did say last night that it is a big issueIs this something that can be included in an update?
It would be great to not have to check two locations for what is critical emergency information.
Thanks for the information.

I wonder if this was at Sentry, Meadow or Vista lodge?
