Our condolences go out to the families and friends of Ronnie Berlack and Bryce Astle who passed away in an avalanche in Austria today. Berlack, from Franconia, New Hampshire, and Astle, from Sandy, Utah, were part of a group of six skiers who were descending from the 3,056-meter Gaislachkogel when they left the prepared slope and apparently set off the avalanche. The other four skied out of the slide and escaped unhurt. Officials in the Tyrolean region said an avalanche alert had been declared for the area after days of heavy snowfall and mild temperatures. Avalanche danger is currently HIGH in the Teton Range and forecast to remain CONSIDERABLE or higher in the coming days.
