COMMENTS: Awesome Wall of Snow
ABC's Brian Rooney (embargoed link) showed us awesome avalanche videotape Monday in his report on the eight snowmobilers who died in British Columbia backcountry. Now George Lewis narrates similarly fearful footage of walls of snow for NBC's In Depth look into the reason why avalanches have killed 19 in the mountain west in December alone. The region's snows were unusually light in November, followed by an unusually "heavy and crusty" layer. The resulting snowpack is unstable. "This avalanche season has become very deadly, very early."
