It could be alot of fun I suppose riding in the mountains,but if you don't take the warnings seriously enough,you may pay the ultimate price.

We lost two great friends/sledders Saturday to a avalanche in Colorado. You all stay off the slopes and be safe when the avalanche warning is not good.

I am also very sorry to hear that. It seems like there has been alot of avy activity lately.

Seven snowmobilers in B.C., still looking for one more, all in the same avalanche......... Nobody hear in Wyoming is riding the slopes except for the idiots and out-of staters. Stay off the hills, any slope of any kind till conditions get better...........Ride the trails and meadows or do a little boondocking, but don't get on any angle of slope.

TTT. To many lives lost. Be extra careful out there.
