If you think Chair Peak was bad ... Missoula. MT

Snowboarder sets off slab that runs all the way into town destroying two houses and burying 3 people:

Missoula avalanche

Except they were at home minding their own business

Wow, what a shit for brains. Homeboy is really lucky he isn't looking at 3 counts of manslaughter.

"But it was just a small peak near town." -Moron

Surprised that in that area (potentially loaded slopes dangerously close to folks in runout zone..) "experts" didn't consider mitigating the potential for a devastating slide (is that called avalanche control?).

I grew up in Missoula.  Saying an avalanche went off of Mount Jumbo is kinda like saying an avalanche ran off of Cougar Mountain... It isn't near town, its in town, as the report indicates... Amazing that there was that much snow that low...

Thanks for the perspective, Samuraijr.
