Avalanche
-
February 12 rolls around and I remember the day an avalanche in the La Sals (in 1992) killed Marabel and 3 others. I have her self portrait hanging in the living room next to a Tom Till shot of Delicate Arch with the snow covered La Sals in the background. I'd post a photo if I could.
Avalanches have killed as many of my friends as cars.This year in Utah we have had a dismal 40% snowpack yet we have had 6 avalanche deaths so far!

So sorry to hear this. I still have the occasional dream about my best childhood friend jack who died on a murdercycle when we were 21yrs old... Its so irreversable and so intense the way everything changes in an instant when someone is violently taken from us before their natural time...

Serious avalanche conditions around here for the last few weeks, and getting worse with heavy snow-loading yesterday and today.
