i would like to punch the media in the face...

With the rescue teams... they only went in after the area was secured. and also, ITS THEIR JOB. they wouldnt have choicen to take that career path if they didnt want to do it. Their work is appreciated!!

avalanches are a part of the risk. thats why we love to snowmachine. its an extreme sport and the risks give it the fun. if there were no risks, very few people would do it. just respect nature, but also respect the people that participate in the sport. i hate how people generalize all riders and say all of us are idiots and obnoxious. not everyone is. we are just having fun.

[Shredder4lyfe]

thats like an estimated 1 motherfucker of snow!

[Wolfsbane909]

1:20 thats right kid, u will heed avalanche warnings from now on I hope.

lindarl,you truly are dumb i give up if you wanna sit here forever arguing over something you have no idea about. and no i dont mean to be rude but i really dont care anymore your really starting to piss me off.who is dumb you ask?who do you think im talking about you idiot.you dont even have a point in any of this except making your self sound dumb,end of story.i have better things to do then waste time with you

[lindarl]

theres no talking with either of you as you add things I did not say as part of your rants...did I say skiers were smarter....did I say I knew a sport?...read your posts -& you dont mean be rude? who is dumb? -"no, i ant"

Rider4343..anyone who sends pms like you is not someone would I would meet. You sound sick & deranged. no further comment- too off topic

[MrSkidoo4life]

lindarl you never give up do you?two helli skiers died this weekend to so now tell me how skiers are any smarter then sledders?call me a pig i dont give a shit obvioussly it has nothing to do with the noise or risk.whatever skiers do caused that slide i dont no sking but unlike someone i dont pretend to no a sport that i dont no.you are starting to really sound dumb now and i ant the only one saying it.i dont mean to be rude but come on.and i agree with rider4343 your being immature now.

[lindarl]

I have blocked rider4343 for very immature personal messages sent that don't even stay on topic and have to become rude and personal Grow up...isn't it great to be able to hide behind your user name

[lindarl]

"dont be putting other people down?" Why is it ok for u to? True skiiing and other stuff can set of avalanches but give me a break, what a moronic comparison.. skiing to all these heavy machines cutting deep in snow? I couldn't care less if u die loving what u do(+)and it makes your life so exciting, (your opinion only my life is boring)At least I consider other people with noise and risk. U are a pig as said earlier, my opinion will not matter to u cuz of that-u only consider your enjoyment

[lindarl]

the thing is is that it WAS predicted as extremely hazardous and they chose to ignore and go ahead with the event
