We used to live in Sandy, UT. From the bench we could overlook the valley, the lights at night were beautiful. Our license plates read "Greatest Snow on Earth"

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel The deaths bring this winter's tally of avalanche deaths in the U.S. to at least 15, which is less than the average of about 30 people who are killed by avalanches each year. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center, which keeps track of the figure nationally, tallied 13 deaths before authorities announced Thursday's fatalities.

There were a couple of winters I skied this time of year. Sad for their families.
