The avalanche fatalities from Montana have hit closer to home than originally thought. According to various reports, 27 year old Carbondale native and renowned climber Hayden Kennedy took his own life after unsuccessfully attempting to rescue his ski partner and girlfriend, Bozeman native Inge Perkins. The two were caught when they remotely triggered a slide on the ascent of Imp Peak in Montana’s Madison Range.

Our thoughts are with our neighbors in the Roaring Fork Valley and our friends up in Bozeman. Winters early arrival is exciting, but the early snow has laid down what is sure to be a dangerous layer here and in snowpacks across the west. Stay safe, friends.
