Skiing, you’re doing it wrong. Blasts of winter weather have led to unstable snowpacks, resulting in a high danger of avalanches in many parts of the West. Because of the snow and other winter conditions, the avalanche danger remains high across the western U.S. One man was killed and two others rescued after an avalanche last week near Stevens Peak in northern Idaho. Another skier was killed in Olympic Valley in California last Wednesday after an avalanche occurred just after the resort opened for the day. Here’s a tip for these morons, don’t go out when there is are warnings of an avalanche!
