Its has been a couple years I think since someone has been killed by an avalanche but it has happened again. My condolences go out to his family. Anyone elese have any more details on this? Such a terrible thing to happen. It is often looked past how serious and dangerous the northern Presidentials are in winter. Be careful out there this weekend. Its brutally cold too.
From the Avalanche Report:
"We send our deepest condolences and thoughts to the family and friends of a fellow mountaineer who was killed in an avalanche in Huntington Ravine on Friday. The objective dangers in the winter mountains are many, which are contrasted by their extraordinary beauty, and the rejuvenation and peacefulness they can bring us. These factors together create the challenges that give us the intense fulfillment as human beings and keep us coming back time and time again. We must be ever on the lookout for all the hazards we face while pursuing our mountain passions. The mountains will be here another day. We will post an accident summary on tuckerman.org later today or tomorrow.
