- I don't think it would ever occur to this person or her friends that anyone would even consider holding them liable for search and rescue costs. Psychologists call it narcissism. Others call it being one taco short of a combo meal. Maybe the same thing.

- The estates of those that died and this individual need to be charged for the emergency services that were used to recovery and rescue. These skiers ignored avalanche warnings. It's their own fault what happened to them. They each thought they were smarter than nature and the authorities that issued the warning. They lost and most don't feel sympathy over the situation.

- It boggles my mind how folks like the hikers along the Iraqi/Iranian border, and the survivor here, get on the media think that we would look at them as somekind of authoritative figure. You're all IDIOT'S!!! You go skiing outside the boundaries, and in a zone where the avalanche rating is considerable to high. Then you get on the media thinking the world will be impressed with you?! You're colleague died, there's nothing impressive about that. Fade off into obscurity and never let us here from you again. And next time you go skiing in a danger zone - DON'T COME BACK!

- The airbag saved her life. Yeah, okay.
That airbag in the backpack thing is all well and good, until you break your neck...because your head just slammed into a tree at 80mph while you were doing cartwheels down the mountain like a ragdoll. It would probably make it easier for the rescuers to find your corpse before summer...I'll give it that much. - Reply to this comment

"Don't go to snow mountain in Spring.... Avalanche will take you away !! " I thought it is common sense or the RULEs among EVERY Mountain men but i guess it is not really widely known facts anymore... - Reply to this comment

- "Professional skiers" who went into the out of bounds area, hmmmm. The survivors should be charged criminally for violating the warning and they should be sued civilly for the cost of the rescue.

- Like we KNOW where Steven's Pass is...regardless that his took place in Washington State...Can the journalists be more specific in reporting to the 'World Wide' news, of WHERE STEVEN'S PASS is...in relation to the actual ski areas?
Louisiana here....(never heard of Stevens Pass) - Reply to this comment
