Uhghh...
Really sorry to hear that loss to his friends and family.
From reading the story it's impressive the effort of those guys who were right on top of the matter. Nothing to hang your head about in your efforts to revive him. You did the best you could with the circumstance.

Twenty year-old victim (Riley McCarthy, UW student) is identified in this story:

Very sad news. Condolences to his family and friends.

As a student attending UW and having the same passions, I wish his friends and family the best. Wow...

Set off a few 6" or so slabbies at Alpy on accident as well... This wet snow wasn't pretty, not deep but apparently still very dangerous. I'll definately be even more aware now. It's just sad this had to happen...
