The truth at this point may be obvious, but it does not need to be stated. We live in this valley, these are our winter sports, we all know the risks, but we live here for a reason. I myself had a few friends in avalanches last year, this is where we live, this happens, but it does not mean we shouldn’t show compassion. The whole Elk Valley is at loss due to this horrible event. This sends down a ripple effect to the families, their loved ones, the mines where the majority of them worked. Everyone I’m sure either knows these men personally or knows someone who does. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families.
