Avalanche at Keystone
Below is a short clip from a posting on SnoWest.com. It was written by one of the rescuers that worked hard to save the life of a snowmobiler that was killed while riding at Keystone, near Revelstoke, BC on Feb 16, 2008. This report sends chills as many of the comments ring true for all of us at one time or another…

This trip began like so many others. Before I left home, I checked the BC avalanche website and saw that the avalanche danger was “considerable” in Revelstoke. In the back of my mind, I knew there have been eight avalanche deaths in BC so far this year, and these numbers can’t be ignored. My little girl stood at the front door of the house as I hugged the family goodbye and said, “Dad, if you get in an avalanche, you have to fight, fight, fight and make sure you live!” She clenched her little fists to drive the point home.
