“That's horrible. I remember another memeber of their ski patrol was killed in an avalanche this year, and they've had numerous deaths at Mammoth from skiing accidents this season as well. Tough year.”

“Heard about this first on the radio. The Mammoth Lakes area has places where gases can collect and you can be in deep trouble. Used to camp at Horseshoe Lake as a Boy Scout, but it is mostly off limits now.

Sad thing that three Ski Patrol members died...very sad.”
