Pre Season Avy In Fernie, now no one can hike the hill

[dylansiggers]

Yesterday at Fernie Alpine Resort there was a Avalanche with two people involved, both survived

The red circle is where the two victims were when the slide was triggered

I had been skiing that day and skied a run directly below the avalanche, about an hour earlier, we dug a pit and noticed a thick crust layer about 20cms down and a very weak layer under this.

Not awesome conditions for where these people decided to go. They went any way .

Following this, upper management made the decision to not allow any people to hike up and ski the slopes untill opening day.

yeah yeah, "they cant just say you cant hike the hill!!" blah blah blah, still sucks

I felt like ranting since there is twenty beautiful CMs of snow, no school on Wednesday and i cant go ski it

* idiots cause avalanche, no one else allowed to hike the hill*

Right Before we dropped in they showed up at the top of the lift we were at ,said hello, then we skied down. I don't recognize them though

yeah everyone is so stoked on seeing snow and being on their skis they forget about the risks. it's a tough thing to do to turn away from good snow. but it's way better to be alive.

Get out your stuff, make sure your probe and shovel are in good working order, and check those beacon batteries.

Hopefully no one was hurt.
