jon Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Does anyone know these guys or know the real story? There news seems to be operating on bits of hearsay and not many facts. I saw a comment on cbc.ca from their friend saying these guys were fine when they were "rescued", all 4 were skiers and adults, had avy gear and were experienced, and didn't ask for a rescue. Maybe this explains their unwillingness to cooperate with authorities. Getting banned from every area in BC for life seems kind of harsh. When do people just start letting natural selection take control of stuff like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoboy Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 This looks like the best option for the real story with two fo the skiers as well as Tim Jones of NSAR weighing in on what happened. http://www.northshorerescue.com/blog/2009/01/four-rescued-on-grouse-mountain.html Purely in my opinion, sounds like Grouse overreacted.

JBo6 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 http://www.komonews.com/news/37411004.html#idc-container Looks like there are going to be some more repercussions from the Grouse Mt deal. About how m any deaths are there yearly in the slackcountry? Is this year higher than normal, or is there more media attention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
