4 deaths in Whistler already this year. 2 from inbound avy's and two from shark fins.
- I had no idea there were 2 IN bounds deaths. I thought they were all East coaster OUT of bounds.D_Dot
- They were all technically inbound. The avalanches were in Spanky's and Harmony.2cents
- what's a shark fin?mg33
- tree wells. The snow builds up on the branches and looks like it's ok to ride on, but when any weight touches it, down you go. SadD_Dot

- wow i didn't know one of those was up on Spanky's... that's totally valid terrain.horton
- Shark fins are the bits of rock barely peaking out or hiding below a fresh snowfall that you can't see.2cents
