marias pass avalanche

reportedly triggered by two snow bikers

news from the Daily Inter-Lake: Snow Bikers caught in Avalanche 

haven't heard much of the details yet, and not exactly sure how the avalanche was triggered by the bikes. But my condolences go out to the family and cycling community of Cut Bank. Be safe out there folks.


EDIT.....found out that snow bikes means converted motorcycles, front ski and rear track like a snow mobile.

they weren't really snowbikes, but rather something like a 'snow motorcycle'..
