About

Over four years ago, I read “Touching the Void” and I was always intrigued by situation hikers find themselves in and the incredible things they do to stay alive.

This blog is about learning from other people’s mistakes, so you don’t make the same ones.

“Better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat”

Snowboarder Dies in Toilet Bowl Avalanche


An inbounds snowboarder died after being buried in an avalanche at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s Toilet Bowl run. A crown at the top of the run was reported to be about 8 feet high.

It is unclear if the run was open or if the man found a way to go down it. The upper lifts of the ski resort were recently opened after they were closed due to heavy snowfall and extreme danger.

After the incident, the upper mountain was closed again. There is no further reports from the incident and no further details of the man who died.
