Monika was a cool chick and a great skier.

 

I got a call from a member of SPART last Wednesday about a possible search/rescue. At the time he was vague about identifying her, but he gave enough clues to prove my ID guess correct. The weather was crappy at the pass Thursday and Friday, but good enough yesterday. A search team with dogs found her body yesterday afternoon.

 

Here's a picture of her from 2010 Ski In

I believe the BARK guys, along with some friends of hers were responsible for finding her. The retrieval took place today I think. Not an easy operation with the rain, crappy snow and complex terrain back there.

 

Sad news indeed. I didn't know her but it turns out a few of my friends did. I also figured out that I know a couple folks involved in the rescue.

 

Sometimes when you meet someone new in the BC it feels a bit random but it can also feel like its the same small set of people sharing the experience, even if you haven't traded names yet. This whole episode is reinforcing that feeling for me.

 

Be safe. See you all outside soon.

Long thread about this on TAY for several days now... a very sad story.

WTF??? Clicking on the link gives me this message: An Error Has Occurred!

The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you. :wazup:

 

They just moved the thread out of the Trip Reports area. Try here:
