Authorities Announce that MA Girl Killed in Brighton (Utah) Avalanche

I had a sick feeling that this might have been someone from back east that was involved. Ducking ropes on the east coast may get you hurt, but out here it can easily get you killed. Even if it is in an area that is near the base lodge and in between two lift served areas. RIP.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

When I heard this happened I wondered if it was a couple of little girls that ducked a rope (kids being kids) or if it was actually parents that did this with their kid/kids. The guilt will be unbearable.

Yikes. That rock garden area is so accessible. Sitting kinda low on Brighton between the two lifts. Very inviting easy access sidecountry.
