Skiers Killed in deadly Avalanche

This Sunday, three skiers were enjoying a normal day of the slopes on the Cascade Mountains out in Washington until tragedy struck. The three were skiing out of bounds past the "No Ski Zone" when one of them triggered a "Dry Slab Avalanche" which is the most deadly of all. The three were tossed down the mountain for thousands of feet until the avalanche finally subsided. There were also News Reporters on the same mountain when it happened, which they said "It was a horrific and terrible sight." Many people are now saying this is a major example of why the mountains put up the boundaries for your own safety and protection.
