What a tragedy. My heart goes out to all in the community.

Excellent point I'm glad somebody brought this up....cause it's true I was in the area for X-Mas as I have family in a very small town between Fernie and Sparwood called Hosmer and the majority of people I spent the holidays with snowmobile in the area and they checked the risks and it was moderate (still not safe ofcourse) but it's a valid point.
