Letter to the editor: Avalanche lawsuit more dangerous than avalanche itself

Oakland, California It is with the backdrop of needed additional backcountry safety and education that the district attorney’s office for Colorado’s 5th Judicial District has decided to try to kill more people. It is not hyperbole. A lawsuit brought against two snowboarders for reckless endangerment due to the avalanche they triggered about a year ago above Interstate 70 is in fact more dangerous than the avalanche itself. What makes this lawsuit so deadly is that it threatens to shut down the communication between backcountry enthusiasts and avalanche reporting centers. Summit County Judge Edward Casias ruled that Colorado Avalanche Information Center Director Ethan Greene and another forecaster would be required to testify as expert witnesses in the trial against the snowboarders who willingly volunteered their videos and information on the avalanche.
