Hey FOM. Heard there was a big avalanche in town the other day. Hope everyone is safe and Town Park is still standing.
Yes, unfortunately someone died in Bear Creek as a result of an avalanche that was triggered from above by two snowboarders who apparently ducked a rope from the ski area atop Gold Hill.

Tragic story. The snowboarders probably had no intention to start an avalanche that killed someone, but it did. Guessing that there probably is no way of holding them accountable.
Hate to be the bearer of more bad news & still in shock / loss for words:
