Rescue on Snoqualmie

Another one on Granite today, no details at this time.

Oh no! Saw a crown on the drive home, but didn't see tracks heading into it. Hope everyone's as ok as possible!

Edit: Looks like it's a hiker near Denny Creek:

The crown we saw was in the gut of the big Granite path.

Gullies on Granite were actively cross-loading this AM, along with other S/E faces in the alpine. This on top of any storm snow present. Snowpack on the lower part of Granite is bony. Granite = a total mess, IMHO.

It's so easy to forget the mistakes we all have made, and the times we have gotten away with it. Yes experienced could be used to describe all of the people on this trip. Wise, carefull, and adventurous would also work as descriptors. Words that probably apply to most who check this site. The injured skiier is recovering from surgery. My thoughts go to all who were on this trip.

I've always wondered why they don't have the big signs in winter to show avalanche danger like they do in the summer that tells of fire danger. Seems like a simple thing.
