Very sad to hear about this. Horrible Accident. I hope those who came out alive heal quickly and condolences to the friends and families of those who weren't so lucky.

I saw in one of the related articles, there is the Wallowa Avalanche Center for that area. It is a remote area, out there. Good to know there is a forest service avalanche forecast. It is sad for an accident to occur.

I keep checking WAC for an accident report but haven't seen one yet. Anyone know anything more?

From the WAC Facebook page, regarding the report:

Cornucopia Peak avalanche report is complete and will be available publicly soon. #oravy #avy

Wallowa Avalanche Center
Expect it to probably be posted this week on the Wallowa Avalanche Center website and avalanche.org
