Avalanche Fatality in Montana :-(

I saw this traffic news this morning. These were good people.

Apart from just being sad, this is a reminder to be safe. Even if you're not skiing in avy terrain; it's getting colder and darker out. I was hit a few years ago riding in the rain, the driver said she didn't see me. Please be careful out there, no matter what being out there means to you.

On Saturday, October 7th 2017, a backcountry skier, famous climber Inge Perkins, was fully buried and killed in an avalanche while approaching Imp Peak, MT. Her ski partner, famous climber Hayden Kennedy, was only partially buried by the avalanche, searched for his buried partner, couldn’t find her, hiked out, and notified authorities.

The next day, Hayden took his own life in grief.
