Who: A 54-year-old man from Coquitlam, British Columbia
Where: Mt. Baker, Washington
His mistake: Looks like he took a bad line
What happened: A husband and wife planned on enjoying a nice day in the snow on Mt. Baker in Washington. The woman was snowshoeing while the man went skiing. They ascended up a route toward Artist Point southwest of the Mt. Baker ski area.

When the woman was unable to find her husband, she hiked around to look for him. She was unable to find him and hiked to the Mt. Baker ski area for help. Ski Patrol checked the ski area and were not able to find him. They called 911 for authorities to join the search.

Roughly three hours later, the man was found. He was buried in 18 inches of snow about 60 to 80 yards from the backcountry gates. Authorities believe the man fell head first off of a cornice and got buried

早前在收音機也聽到報導, 很可惜.

也是一個學習, 在雪地上也不只有雪崩才會導致意外.

在非常軟雪的情況下, 跌倒了或掉進樹洞, 有時候雪鞋或雪板互相纏繞,
手不能到達,除不了, 便非常危險.

上週滑野雪也有這種情形.
最基本的安全手冊是, 我們一定是两人互相在視線之內.

雪最是美麗, 也最是危險.

感嘆.

唉，可惜可惜。 :(
户外活动一定要注意安全，千万不要单独行动。大家一定要保持在彼此的视线内。
