Last week in the Wallowa Mountains of northwestern Oregon, four skiers were caught in a deadly avalanche. Two of them died, and the other two have recently been evacuated to the hospital after a night stranded on the cold slope. They had to be carried 10 miles by snowmobile to the nearest road, where they could be picked up by an ambulance. This past year has been particularly prone to avalanches across the country, and there will surely be more to come.
