Deadly fall accident near Compton Mountain BC

[Zoran]

Does any of you know more details about this 30m crevasse fall? Skier lost his life. I am looking around to see do I know him. I am not sure group was from Vancouver.

My condolences to his family and ski/climbing community from his town/city.

Yes, very tragic and sad. I caught the story this AM. See

Hannes was in NSR and by all accounts a class act.
