Snowboarder dies in avalanche in Summit County

Multiple reports on this tragedy. I don't like talking about avalanches - just seems dangerous - but we all need to be very careful. It can all end in a moment. This is just another reason to take the avy courses. I'll do my damnest to take one while in Colorado next season.

Here's a link to the story.

Here's another link to it.

Here's some info on avalanche training. If you're living in the states, why wait?

Colorado Avalanche Information Center.

Finally, here's a link to a post from Snowolf, someone who's opinion I (usually anyway) value highly. It gives info on an online course.

If you've got first-hand info, please post it.
