<br/><br/> "The game--courting avalanches, pushing into the highest, untracked reaches of snowbound mountains--has of late turned particularly deadly....Over the past decade, avalanche deaths have risen, mostly among snowmobile riders, but more and more snowboarders and back-country downhill skiers have also died." (NEW YORK TIMES) In the wake of the death of snowboarding pioneer Craig Kelly in a avalanche in Jan. 2003, this article examines the dangers courted by extreme skiers and snowboarders as they venture into risky areas looking for a thrill ride.
